in reply to Re^2: subroutine ref while "strict refs"
in thread subroutine ref while "strict refs"

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.
