=head1 NAME
strict - Perl pragma to restrict unsafe constructs
print $$ref; # ok
$ref = "foo";
print $$ref; # runtime error; normally ok
+ $file = "STDOUT";
+ print $file "Hi!"; # error; note: no comma after $file
+
+There is one exception to this rule:
+
+ $bar = \&{'foo'};
+ &$bar;
+
+is allowed so that C<goto &$AUTOLOAD> would not break under stricture.
+
=item C<strict vars>
This generates a compile-time error if you access a variable that wasn't
-localized via C<my()> or wasn't fully qualified. Because this is to avoid
+declared via C<our> or C<use vars>,
+localized via C<my()>, or wasn't fully qualified. Because this is to avoid
variable suicide problems and subtle dynamic scoping issues, a merely
local() variable isn't good enough. See L<perlfunc/my> and
L<perlfunc/local>.
my $foo = 10; # ok, my() var
local $foo = 9; # blows up
+ package Cinna;
+ our $bar; # Declares $bar in current package
+ $bar = 'HgS'; # ok, global declared via pragma
+
The local() generated a compile-time error because you just touched a global
name without fully qualifying it.
+Because of their special use by sort(), the variables $a and $b are
+exempted from this check.
+
=item C<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.
-
+is a simple identifier (no colons) and that it appears in curly braces or
+on the left hand side of the C<< => >> symbol.

+=head1 HISTORY
-=cut
+C<strict 'subs'>, with Perl 5.6.1, erroneously permitted to use an unquoted
+compound identifier (e.g. C<Foo::Bar>) as a hash key (before C<< => >> or
+inside curlies), but without forcing it always to a literal string.
-sub bits {
- my $bits = 0;
- foreach $sememe (@_) {
- $bits |= 0x00000002 if $sememe eq 'refs';
- $bits |= 0x00000200 if $sememe eq 'subs';
- $bits |= 0x00000400 if $sememe eq 'vars';
- }
- $bits;
-}
+Starting with Perl 5.8.1 strict is strict about its restrictions:
+if unknown restrictions are used, the strict pragma will abort with
-sub import {
- shift;
- $^H |= bits(@_ ? @_ : qw(refs subs vars));
-}
+ Unknown 'strict' tag(s) '...'
-sub unimport {
- shift;
- $^H &= ~ bits(@_ ? @_ : qw(refs subs vars));
-}
+As of version 1.04 (Perl 5.10), strict verifies that it is used as
+"strict" to avoid the dreaded Strict trap on case insensitive file
+systems.
