Can you give me an example of the former?
I can't think of any off the top of my head.
Scalar value @foo[$bar] better written as $foo[$bar], for one.
If part of Perl's breeding is autovivication and interpretation of undef as
0 or "" in the appropriate context, why should Perl
print IRONY;
I consider a module without tests or documentation to be a syntax
error. Maybe perl should refuse to run a module without POD and
MakeMaker should refuse to install a module without tests unless given
a special flag. Then people will sometimes forget to use that flag

I thought that was the problem you were having. Forgetting to type
"use strict" in your programs.
No -- its *anywhere* that you write scripts/modules/what have you. Anywhere
you miss it, it is a syntax error to me.
Modules? Modules should have test suites. A simple test would be to

Oops. Forgot a few points. I said that you should give me the courtesy of
responding to all of my points, and
I think we're rapidly approaching "agree to disagree" territory here.
