Okay, so I went back and reread the relevant section of Apocalypse 1 http://dev.perl.org/perl6/apocalypse/1 (Where Larry discusses 'RFC 16') and what do I see: ... whether Perl 6 main programs should default to strict or not (I think not) So it seems that Larry is minded to keep the current situation where strict doesn't get turned on unless you want it. And I don't remember him saying anything different in any of the later Apocalypses, which I've been following rather closely. -- Piers "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a language in possession of a rich syntax must be in need of a rewrite." -- Jane Austen? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
