+There is one exception to this rule:

=item C<strict vars>
-This generates a compile-time error if you access a variable that wasn't
-declared via 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>.
+This generates a compile-time error if you access a variable that was
+neither explicitly declared (using any of C<my>, C<our>, C<state>, or C<use
+vars>) nor fully qualified. (Because this is to avoid variable suicide
+problems and subtle dynamic scoping issues, a merely C<local> variable isn't
+good enough.) See L<perlfunc/my>, L<perlfunc/our>, L<perlfunc/state>,

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.

+=head1 HISTORY
-=cut
+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.
-$strict::VERSION = "1.01";
+Starting with Perl 5.8.1 strict is strict about its restrictions:
+if unknown restrictions are used, the strict pragma will abort with
-my %bitmask = (
-refs => 0x00000002,
-subs => 0x00000200,
-vars => 0x00000400
-);
+ Unknown 'strict' tag(s) '...'
-sub bits {
- my $bits = 0;
- foreach my $s (@_){ $bits |= $bitmask{$s} || 0; };
- $bits;
-}
-
-sub import {
- shift;
- $^H |= bits(@_ ? @_ : qw(refs subs vars));
-}
+As of version 1.04 (Perl 5.10), strict verifies that it is used as
+"strict" to avoid the dreaded Strict trap on case insensitive file
+systems.
