[ID 20010329.005] symbolic refs allowed for defined and use strict

This is a bug report for perl from pudge@pobox.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

This should, I believe, according to my own reasoning and to the
documentation, not print 1, but die because of symbolic refs
being used with strict refs enabled:

perl -wle 'use strict; sub foo { 2 } my $op = "oo"; print defined &$op;'

"print &$op" fails appropriately, of course.
