So I thought "ok, saves me some typing". Easy mistake to make. Instead you should have thought "ok, I'll program my editor to auto-insert those in every Perl file I create".	[reply]

I haven't gotten that far yet, I use Visual Studio Code, I will need to check where I can do that.	[reply]

"...I'll program my editor..." hippo hippo is almost always right. An example for emacs as real monks use emacs, you know ;-) `; $Id: perl-skeleton.el,v 1.2 2017/07/14 17:13:34 karl Exp karl $ (define-skeleton perl-skeleton "...soft like butter, fits like a glove...."

The `strict` thing is kind of a sore point here in the Monastery. The Learning Perl people don't teach it because that saves them a little bit of explanation in their beginner classes. But then their students show up here with problems that would have been caught by `strict` and we have to straighten them out.	[reply]
