My own anecdote: I didn't think that using the 'strict' or 'warnings'
pragmas was important either, once. And I'm a very novice programmer.
However, when I thought about, I always liked being able to debug my
(shell) scripts as I wrote them; it saves time by testing during, not
after coding. Using those pragmas has helped me a lot since I started
with Perl. More importantly it has forced me to become a better
programmer, to pay attention to scoping.

Since you are going to be working _with_ this new programmer, it is
probably a good idea that you agree on how you are going to code (use
scoping, variable name conventions, etc.), especially if you are sharing
code. In most places in general, and this list in particular, you are
going to find that perlers will suggest, nay, implore you to be strict.
Send your coworker here:

And have him learn to program properly.
