Bareword "step" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /home/www/xx
+xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.org/cgi-bin/local.cgi line 11.
Execution of /home/www/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.org/cgi-bin/local.cgi abor
+ted due to compilation errors.

Yes. `Use strict` is not a penalty; it's a tool to help you find out what you're doing wrong. Your previous code generates similar errors. Read `perldoc perlvar` (and I know there has to be an even better explanation in the documents installed with your perl). Update: See also some of the answers in strict subs and bareword exceptions, non-barewords and use strict and Aristotle's reply in bareword hash keys.
