I've virtually never used: 'use v5.12.0' #(or any other version) *without* prior lines (or immediately after): use warnings;use strict; So I wasn't aware that use strict was already toggled on before such. I find it a bit odd that having the use-version after the no-strict wouldn't toggle it back on if 'use strict' was advertised being part of the 5.12 bundle. I'm not sure I understand why that was done that way, since it would seem to violate normal perl semantics. I'm assuming that the order: use v5.12.0; no strict; Would also result in 'strict being off'? Is it also the case that a "use version" statement, for any version >5.12.0, also toggles on strict, but is similarly silenced by a 'no strict' on either side of the 'use'?Thread Previous | Thread Next
