This is actually what I've been thinking during this discussion. I'm not really seeing a pressing need for strict in one-liners, but phiosophically, I can understand why one might want to have strict on in all cases. So, if we think this is something that actually needs solving, this mechanism seems reasonable to me. > This discussion got me looking at http://design.perl6.org/S19.html which > may need an update, it says perl6 has no "-M" but Rakudo supports it; which > is correct? The 5to6.pod document in the doc directory says it does exist. I lean towards feeling the docs should be more correct/reliable than the design documents, as that's where people outside the p6 creation bubble will be looking for info (not that, at the moment, they necessarily *are* more correct/reliable - work in progress and all...). All that said, there doesn't, at a quck glance, seem to be any equivalent to Perl 5's perlrun document, which would detail the command line flags. Maybe I'll take a shot at something like that in the coming days. dha -- David H. Adler - <d...@panix.com> - http://www.panix.com/~dha/ "Your point being..." - Homer Simpson
