I have something I believe to be CPAN worthy. I've started looking at making my code CPAN-friendly. I was given a link at the perl5 porters mailing list that has some good info, I believe. One thing confuses me though: 

A module's code has to be warning and strict-clean, since you can't
guarantee the conditions that it'll be used under. Besides, you wouldn't
want to distribute code that wasn't warning or strict-clean anyway,
right?

What exactly does this mean? Does this mean 'use strict' and '-w' shouldn't be used, or does this mean to use them?

Could merlyn or some of the other module writing monks give me some guidance?

Thanks,

JJ
