Re^2: subroutine ref while "strict refs"

\&$_ is except from strict refs

Very good point, although I think (?) that's just a specific case of the more general exemption my $x = "foo"; my $y = \&$x; &$y; or my $y = \&{"foo"}; &$y;

I didn't mean to be exclusionary. `\&{EXPR}` as a whole is exempt, including the `\&$NAME` shorthand. `CONST->()` is also exempt. For example, `(\&$name)->()` is the same as `$name->()`, but it bypasses the symbolic reference check requested by using strict.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
