My personal opinion is that cutom databases are very easy to create in a
perl script and usually run faster and more efficient than cumbersome
packages. there are many perl freebies out there to start you in the right
direction and will also serve as a better learning tool. basically a

Okay, there have been a few comments about the merits of using strict, but I thought I

IMHO only the first of these may be a valid reason. But I dont know much
about "perl one liners".
Your second reason is particularly bad, beginners are the ones who need "use
strict" the most!

why would you want to do that Octavian?
"use strict" is a sanity safety net. What your saying is like "I know why I
should use safety belt whilst driving my car but what if I took it off?" -
of course you can do it but beware of the consequences.

Yes, you can call subroutines either way, with or without the "&".
The only case when the subroutine must be prefixed with an
ampersand is, I believe, when you're assigning a reference
variable, eg:
$reference_x = \&subroutine_y;
But that's another story.
