in reply to use strict without typing use strict?

Something like Modern::Perl activates all your boilerplate at once.

    Since Modern::Perl is written in pure Perl, he could just copy it to his own module M.pm in his path and adjust it to his needs.

    Running perl -MM script.pl would do the trick then.

    That's not longer than a hypothetical switch -sw which activates s trict and w arnings

      Ha ha, I see Modern::Perl contains a "odern" (sic) directory, in addition to a Modern directory, presumably to enable this hack to work with only one M:

      perl -Modern::Perl script.pl

      As an aside for CPAN authors, note that Release::Checklist cautions against adding developer convenience modules, such as Modern::Perl, as a dependency.

        well I think he could put his own M.pm into the \lib of his own repository ... ?

        strict and warnings are not what I consider "deep" dependencies.

        PS: though my.pm might be a better name, to avoid conflicts.

        good catch!
