I have this application that I'm working on in Tk. Originally, I made all of the widgets globals so that I could do a  Tk::Exists($widget) on them. The reason for this was to ensure that I'm not recreating windows when the window already exists (duh, right?). Another thing that kind of stings is that most of the variables (objects, if you will) are used once, since they're containers for objects. Of course, warnings complains that "The variable is used only once." For a while, I just turned warnings off, but I think that's kind of silly.

In my eyes, to write good code, it should work under warnings and strict. In this case, however, I don't see any real way to get this code to do so. So, I'm wondering... Am I stressing strict and warnings to much, or is there some justification in my paranoia? Or, is it just that Tk doesn't really lend itself to strict and warnings for larger applications?
