Dear Perlmonks, it was one year and I half that I did not program, and now that I am back at writing something I see an annoying behaviour in my Perl installation. I was trying these simple instructions, which are in a style that I happen to like: 
no strict;
no warnings;
my @things = ( 1, 2, 3, "and", 4, 5);
my @bucket;
my $counter = 0;
foreach my $elt ( @things )
{
  if ( $elt ne "and" )
  {
     push ( $elt, @{ $bucket[$counter] } );
  }
  if ( $elt eq "and" )
  {
     $counter++;
  }
}

And I receive the following response: "Experimental push on scalar is now forbidden at ... line 7582, near "} )" Execution of ... aborted due to compilation errors." I must confess that I feel tutored to follow somebody else's way here. I am not asking what I should do to obtain my goal here. I am just asking: what is happening? Why should be this strictness an improvement? Thank you in advance for your attention - Gian Luca
