Re: How can one bypass use strict?

The special variables that are exempt from package scope are presumably also except from needing scope qualification under strict. They are:

identifiers that begin with digits, control characters, or punctuation characters,

ENV STDIN INC STDOUT ARGV STDERR ARGVOUT SIG

Also, ${^CMDLINE} is reserved. Use ${^_CMDLINE} if you must, but an ordinary variable should do.

According to perlvar, "These variables are reserved for future special uses by Perl, except for the ones that begin with ^_ (control-underscore or caret-underscore)." A new version of Perl may use a variable name that stomps on your use, if you use a "funny" variable of your own.	[reply]
