Hi. My name is Jason Klueber, and I use strict;.

Hi, Jason!

Anyway, I see a good reason to not make strictness the default:

perl -e

If strictness is a default, then oneliners become more cumbersome, and therefore less useful. (The entire point of a oneliner being to Just Do It.) Since oneliners are one of the reasons perl is what it is, I don't support crippling them just because we're tired of telling people to "use strict or die;". :)

Oh. And mandatory strictness breaks all my japhs. ;-)
