in reply to Re: Use strict _encouraged_, but not mandated :-)
in thread Use Strict needed?

Well that all depends -- how often has it been run in the past 5 months? In how many different scenarios? Why is the poster looking at it again after this much time? Are there changes that need to be made? Is it going into heavier use?

I say again, if the developer didn't expect to see warnings then they are a sign that the developer overlooked something. I don't care if it has been running right for the past 5 months; code that spews warnings when I don't expect it to makes me worry.

Hmm, I wonder what I will see if I put in use strict... <tappity tap> Yikes! Where are all these warnings coming from?! <thinks> Oh well, if I remove the use strict they go away. <tappity tap... slams head into hole in sand.>
