in reply to That damn "strict"

I usually start programs in the command line, typing just 'perl' and coding until I press ^D. I got sick of doing use warnings; use strict; all the time so I just did an alias perl='/usr/bin/perl -Mstrict -w'. Whenever I don't want that, it suffices to run /usr/bin/perl.

$ perl
print $c;
Global symbol "$c" requires explicit package name at - line 1.
Execution of - aborted due to compilation errors.
$ /usr/bin/perl
print $c;
$ _

    Once you type "perl" this way and add some commands, how do you tell it to actually run the commands?

      Simple: by hitting Ctrl-D :^).

        More precisely,
        Ctrl-D at the start of a line (unix), or
        Ctrl-Z followed by Enter (Windows).
