Yes, sometimes people think not using strict is a shortcut. Some people think that using a hand-rolled alternative to CGI.pm is a shortcut. Some people turn off warnings because they're tired of errors showing up in their logs. There are reasons why we might want to do all of the above; trying to coddle the ineperienced is not one of them. The reason many people prefer Perl to other programming languages is that they have the power when they need it. Unfortunately, many programmers don't when use crosses over to abuse. If we choose a tool based upon its power and flexibility (TT, in this case), then identifying said power and complexity as a problem doesn't make sense :) "It hurts when I do this, doctor" "Then don't do that" -- Cheers, Curtis Poe Senior Programmer ONSITE!
