I've come to feel a bit leery of depending too much n man-pages [aka perldoc for 
Windows folks.  Too many I've seen
are carelessy written.

I think the thing that irritates me the most is to see variables coming into existence 
out of the blue  in coding
examles.  I don't feel that they detract from the focus on the subject matter.  They 
do set a bad example of neglect.

Whatever the samples look like, it is always important to use strict on even seemingly 
inconsequential scripts.  Don't
underestimate the force of habit for good or ill.

Happy hacking,

Joseph
