*ALL* production Perl code should live under "use strict" - or have a very
good reason why not!
I almost wish
use strict;
was the default, and could only be turned off by a specific
no strict;
with a mandatory
# turning off stricture because (can't think of a reason right now...)

To use strict or not use strict is the subject of an ongoing religious war.
Flame me at will. :)
