Here is a code snippet from a tutorial i was looking at on the web

package TestSite::Login; $VERSION = v0.0.1; use v5.10.0; use warnings; use strict; use Carp; use Digest::MD5 'md5_hex'; open(my $fh, '<', 'passwords') or die "cannot open passwords file $! +"; my %passwords = map({chomp; split(/:/, $_, 2)} <$fh>); sub check_password { my ($user, $pass) = @_; return( $passwords{$user} and md5_hex($pass) eq $passwords{$user} ); } 1;
This code has a use strict directive in it so I don't understand how it can call the md5_hex function without qualifying it with the full package name. I thought 'use strict' forces you declare lexical variables using 'my' and to reference to package variables and functions with their full names.

many thanks
