in thread Why isn't C<use strict> the default?

In what way will "module Main;" differ from just "use strict;", at the top of a script?

Juerd # { site => 'juerd.nl', plp_site => 'plp.juerd.nl', do_not_use => 'spamtrap' }

    It would also turn on warnings.

    I suppose I should also point out that you can just say 

        module;

    [download]
    which would make your main program an anonymous module. I guess, for that matter, you could also say: 
        class;

    [download]
    and get the same effect. I can just see instructors telling newbies to put that at the beginning of all their "class" assignments.

    Hmm, if you want it even shorter, I bet 

        role;

    [download]
    would even work. Hey, maybe any anonymous declarator should work. How 'bout: 
        my;
