That said, I agree that if "use strict;" and/or "use warnings;" doesn't affect the code one way or the other, it might be worthwhile to mention it as a guideline,
Why? There millions of "good advices" one could give, but giving it to people without having any idea whether they already know that is irritating. If you ask the way to someone, and his response is "wear your seatbelts", are you happy for the good advice given? You probably already know it, it doesn't help you at all the solve your current problem, and the one who can give you directions moves on, thinking you already got help.

Leave the uttering of irrelevant good advices to ones mother.

And don't forget to wear a coat outside, or you'll catch a cold! (I expect many ++'s for this good advice).
