Re: anyway to abbreviate use strict; use warnings;

Hi, metaperl -

Based on what everybody else wrote in response to your question I have the feeling I may have misunderstood your question. I thought you are looking for a way to save on typing for the modest two lines

use strict;
use warnings;
[download]

If that, indeed, is what you are after (oh, come on!), all I can suggest is

#! /usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
[download]

Since you need to type the shebang line anyway this -w will save you 10 characters!

Hope this helps.

Pat

Please not that 1) -w isn't the same use warnings (it acts globally, not only in a lexical scope), and 2) this won't be interpreted for modules at all.	[reply]

Thanks for the knowledgeable additions to my post, Moritz. Just for the record, however, I see no reference to lexical scope or the use of modules in metaperl's original question, hence my response (well, to say the truth - I was unaware of the facts you mention so I probably still would have suggested `-w` as an answer, even if metaperl had mentioned those restrictions in the original question).
