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

Behavior confirmed in 5.8.0-RC2 (linux) as well. No bare word warnings anywhere if a list-context range op is used in a statement prior to the bare words. 
use strict;
use warnings;
print 1..2,"\n";
die 'bug' if foo eq bar;

    Hmm... My Perl 5.8.0 RC 2 (i686-linux-thread-multi-64all-ld) on linux (RedHat 7.3) gives a Bareword "foo" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at - line 5. on that code. It also raises an error on the orgininal post when use strict is in effect.

    Can anyone test this on another 5.8.0 RC 2 ?

      My mistake. It appears I wasn't calling the perl I thought I was. 5.8.0-RC2 (linux) does raise exceptions on the code just as Joost observes. My apologies for any confusion.
