i've recently been converted to using strict (some may recall
the discussion : )

i like it a lot, i think it does really help my programming
i think that this time i actually HAVE stumbled across a place
where strict cannot be used... 

use strict
our ($opt_h);
getopts('h');

if ($opt_h) { print 'do something'; }

[download]

all LOOKS well, it compiles and runs fine when using a
command line perl myScript.pl but unfortunately,
i've got to compile this little proggie so it is a
standalone EXE on windows machines...

it seems that there may be a problem with using
'strict', 'our', and 'perl2exe' together

my solution ... use strict until compile time, and turn it off
james bond style (a meer .007 seconds before i compile)

i think that's pretty reasonable, but my question is this:
if the program compiles and runs fine when USING strict,
and i turn it off, could the program stop working properly?

as i understand it, strict is a style guide and grammar
cop. i would be surprised to discover that strict changes
the way in which memory is allocated and protected from other
pieces of memory ... but just have to ask :)
