Taking the points from both replies, I summarize the following given below.

In the example 1,

The variable $main::pet is never declared. But, the typeglob assignment made it as an alias for $Zoo:pet which has indeed been declared with our. So 'use strict' didn't throw error since somehow $main::pet got indirectly declared.


In the example 2,

Here too, the variable $main::pet is never declared. The symbolic assignment just created $main::pet. So 'use strict' threw error since it could not find any declaration for $main::pet either direct or indirect.


Any other explanation that better explain the behavior?
