Hello Fellow Monks:

I am still new at Perl, and was noticing on many home nodes here, that most people agree that one should always use "strict" and "warnings".

My question is mainly, why should I use strict and warnings when I am writing programs in Perl?

1. Does it really improve the script, or help it that much that I should always use them?
   
2. Or is it just something to help catch errors when debugging, etc.

Thanks for any suggestions or help on this topic!
