Even this part? ...

       strict subs
             This disables the poetry optimization, generating a
             compile-time error if you try to use a bareword
             identifier that's not a subroutine, unless it
             appears in curly braces or on the left hand side of
             the "=>" symbol.

                 use strict 'subs';
                 $SIG{PIPE} = Plumber;       # blows up
                 $SIG{PIPE} = "Plumber";     # just fine: bareword in curlies always ok
                 $SIG{PIPE} = \&Plumber;     # preferred form

Looks pretty direct to me.  Maybe that was further than you could
read? :)
