152.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
153If no import list is supplied, all possible restrictions are assumed.
154(This is the safest mode to operate in, but is sometimes too strict for
155casual programming.) Currently, there are three possible things to be
156strict about: \*(L"subs\*(R", \*(L"vars\*(R", and \*(L"refs\*(R".
157.ie n .IP """strict refs""" 6
158.el .IP "\f(CWstrict refs\fR" 6
159.IX Item "strict refs"
160This generates a runtime error if you
161use symbolic references (see perlref).

163.Vb 7
164\& use strict 'refs';
165\& $ref = \e$foo;
166\& print $$ref; # ok
167\& $ref = "foo";
168\& print $$ref; # runtime error; normally ok
169\& $file = "STDOUT";
170\& print $file "Hi!"; # error; note: no comma after $file

180is allowed so that \f(CW\*(C`goto &$AUTOLOAD\*(C'\fR would not break under stricture.
181.ie n .IP """strict vars""" 6
182.el .IP "\f(CWstrict vars\fR" 6
183.IX Item "strict vars"
184This generates a compile-time error if you access a variable that wasn't
185declared via \f(CW\*(C`our\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`use vars\*(C'\fR,
186localized via \f(CW\*(C`my()\*(C'\fR, or wasn't fully qualified. Because this is to avoid
187variable suicide problems and subtle dynamic scoping issues, a merely
188\&\fIlocal()\fR variable isn't good enough. See \*(L"my\*(R" in perlfunc and
189\&\*(L"local\*(R" in perlfunc.
190.Sp
191.Vb 4
192\& use strict 'vars';
193\& $X::foo = 1; # ok, fully qualified
194\& my $foo = 10; # ok, my() var
195\& local $foo = 9; # blows up

200\& our $bar; # Declares $bar in current package
201\& $bar = 'HgS'; # ok, global declared via pragma
202.Ve
203.Sp
204The \fIlocal()\fR generated a compile-time error because you just touched a global
205name without fully qualifying it.
206.Sp
207Because of their special use by \fIsort()\fR, the variables \f(CW$a\fR and \f(CW$b\fR are
208exempted from this check.
209.ie n .IP """strict subs""" 6
210.el .IP "\f(CWstrict subs\fR" 6
211.IX Item "strict subs"
212This disables the poetry optimization, generating a compile-time error if
213you try to use a bareword identifier that's not a subroutine, unless it
214is a simple identifier (no colons) and that it appears in curly braces or
215on the left hand side of the \f(CW\*(C`=>\*(C'\fR symbol.
216.Sp
217.Vb 4
218\& use strict 'subs';
219\& $SIG{PIPE} = Plumber; # blows up
220\& $SIG{PIPE} = "Plumber"; # just fine: quoted string is always ok
221\& $SIG{PIPE} = \e&Plumber; # preferred form

229inside curlies), but without forcing it always to a literal string.
