in thread to strict or not to strict

And of course, if you really did need symbolic refs, one of the great things about strict (and warnings too) is that you can disable it locally:

use strict;
# symbolic refs are disallowed here
{
    no strict 'refs';
    # use symbolic refs as much as you like here
}
# symbolic refs are disallowed here too
