Exactly!
perldb.pl is different!

Even if you get rid of compile errors after introducing "use strict", 
the behaviour could be changed at a distance!

Please use other modules for this "strict" insertion!

Otherwise,
PLEASE provide us with better RFC, consisting of exact plan
of doing things, introducing and describing some special techniques
that will make us safe from introduced misbehaviours.

It must be well-thought robust plan, 
exactly opposite of original RFC.

Regards,
Vadim.
