To use the strictures, change $n to $ARGV[0] :) 
$ perl -w -Mstrict nosemicolon.pl 5

{ $ARGV[0] || die "Usage: perl nosemicolon.pl NUMBER\n" }

sub fib {
    if ($_[0] < 2) {
        $_[0]
    } else {
        fib($_[0] - 1) + fib($_[0] - 2)    
    }
}

{ print "Fibonacci numbers from 0 to $ARGV[0] are as follows:\n" }

for (0 .. $ARGV[0]) {
    print "fib($_) = ", fib($_), "\n"
}

print "Thanks for using this software!\n"
