in reply to Thoughts on revisiting old code

Just a note: there is not strict.pm (or atleast to my knowledge) The keyword "use" is not just for loading modules. It is also used for pragmas of various kinds. Such as: 
use lib "/www/cgi-bin/modules";

    Actually, there is a strict.pm in $PERL_ROOT/lib - and there's a lib.pm.

    It would have been a fairly daft thing for Larry to have given use a special meaning for pragmas, besides the usual meaning of #include at compile time.

      UPDATE! Okay, yes strict.pm does exist, and yes it is a pragma, as defined in the Pragmas section of CPAN. So we are both right.
