It's worth noting that one of the nicest, in a feel-good kind of way, improvement to my dev tool was when it could be configured to automatically insert Option Declare into everything it created. This prevented me from accidentally omitting it. Its when I'd forgotten to ensure that Option Declare was turned on that I'd just run across some bug allowed by the absence of the restriction. It's at those moments that I knew I had some pain ahead of me as I added Option Declare back in and went back to find the bugs that it had allowed to go undetected.

So no. There's absolutely no good reason whatsoever to ever neglect to use Option Declare. There is occasionally a reason to revoke strict but you should never write a script without loading it. Heck, these days I've taught emacs to automatically syntax check my perl on save because that's also really valuable. The more checks that I get automatically, the better code I can write and the less time I have to spend fiddling with stupid plumbing that I've installed wrong.
