- =head1 NAME
-
- strict - Perl pragma to restrict unsafe constructs
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use strict;
-
- use strict "vars";
- use strict "refs";
- use strict "subs";
-
- use strict;
- no strict "vars";
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- If no import list is supplied, all possible restrictions are assumed.
- (This is the safest mode to operate in, but is sometimes too strict for
- casual programming.) Currently, there are three possible things to be
- strict about: "subs", "vars", and "refs".
-
- =over 6
-
- =item C<strict refs>
-
- This generates a runtime error if you
- use symbolic references (see L<perlref>).
-
- use strict 'refs';
- $ref = \$foo;
- print $$ref; # ok
- $ref = "foo";
- print $$ref; # runtime error; normally ok
- $file = "STDOUT";
- print $file "Hi!"; # error; note: no comma after $file
-
- There is one exception to this rule:
-
- $bar = \&{'foo'};
- &$bar;
-
- is allowed so that C<goto &$AUTOLOAD> would not break under stricture.
-
-
- =item C<strict vars>
-
- This generates a compile-time error if you access a variable that wasn't
- declared via C<our> or C<use vars>,
- localized via C<my()>, or wasn't fully qualified. Because this is to avoid
- variable suicide problems and subtle dynamic scoping issues, a merely
- local() variable isn't good enough. See L<perlfunc/my> and
- L<perlfunc/local>.
-
- use strict 'vars';
- $X::foo = 1; # ok, fully qualified
- my $foo = 10; # ok, my() var
- local $foo = 9; # blows up
-
- package Cinna;
- our $bar; # Declares $bar in current package
- $bar = 'HgS'; # ok, global declared via pragma
-
- The local() generated a compile-time error because you just touched a global
- name without fully qualifying it.
-
- Because of their special use by sort(), the variables $a and $b are
- exempted from this check.
-
- =item C<strict subs>
-
- This disables the poetry optimization, generating a compile-time error if
- you try to use a bareword identifier that's not a subroutine, unless it
- is a simple identifier (no colons) and that it appears in curly braces or
- on the left hand side of the C<< => >> symbol.
-
- use strict 'subs';
- $SIG{PIPE} = Plumber; # blows up
- $SIG{PIPE} = "Plumber"; # just fine: quoted string is always ok
- $SIG{PIPE} = \&Plumber; # preferred form
-
- =back
-
- See L<perlmodlib/Pragmatic Modules>.
-
- =head1 HISTORY
-
- C<strict 'subs'>, with Perl 5.6.1, erroneously permitted to use an unquoted
- compound identifier (e.g. C<Foo::Bar>) as a hash key (before C<< => >> or
- inside curlies), but without forcing it always to a literal string.
-
- Starting with Perl 5.8.1 strict is strict about its restrictions:
- if unknown restrictions are used, the strict pragma will abort with
-
- Unknown 'strict' tag(s) '...'
