in reply to Strange behaviour (bug?) of use strict 'subs' (was: ... strict 'vars')

it seems to me the problem is only found after using the range operator. also notice the bareword can be any word, it does not need to be in an existing glob.

> perl -w -Mstrict -e"my%f;++@f{(1,2)};die'ack'if foo eq 'bar'" Bareword "foo" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at -e line 1. Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. > perl -w -Mstrict -e"my%f;++@f{qw/1 2/};die'ack'if foo eq 'bar'" Bareword "foo" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at -e line 1. Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. > perl -w -Mstrict -e"my%f;++@f{1..2};die'ack'if foo eq 'bar'" >

a look at the code using B::Terse might help a little...
