(It would be nice if `use feature` actually changed the meaning of `use strict;`, but I suspect that would be too complicated.) For warnings, that's a backwards compatible change I oppose. I was promised that `use warnings;` would enable all warnings, and I've been recommending its usage on that basis for a decade.Thread Previous | Thread Next
