Re: use strict;$a=2

Is there a way then to capture undeclared $a's?

Yeah - code reviews. In other words, don't use $a as a variable. In fact, the only single-letter variables that should be used, IMHO, are $i, $j, $k, $x, $y, and $z. Those have the patina of traditional usage. And, even then, they shouldn't be used.

If you're looping over some array, try and use foreach my $foo (@foos) instead of foreach my $i (0 .. $#foos) (unless you need to access the index instead of just the element).
