+=head1 NAME
+
+strict - Perl pragma to restrict unsafe constructs
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use strict;
+
+ use strict "vars";
+ use strict "refs";
+ use strict "subs";
+
+ use strict;
+ no strict "vars";
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+If no import list is supplied, all possible restrictions are assumed.
+(This is the safest mode to operate in, but is sometimes too strict for
+casual programming.) Currently, there are three possible things to be
+strict about: "subs", "vars", and "refs".
+
+=over 6
+
+=item C<strict refs>
+
+This generates a runtime error if you
+use symbolic references (see L<perlref>).
+
+ use strict 'refs';
+ $ref = \$foo;
+ print $$ref; # ok
+ $ref = "foo";
+ print $$ref; # runtime error; normally ok
+ $file = "STDOUT";
+ print $file "Hi!"; # error; note: no comma after $file
+
+There is one exception to this rule:
+
+ $bar = \&{'foo'};
+ &$bar;
+
+is allowed so that C<goto &$AUTOLOAD> would not break under stricture.
+
+
+=item C<strict vars>
+
+This generates a compile-time error if you access a variable that wasn't
+declared via C<our> or 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>.
+
+ use strict 'vars';
+ $X::foo = 1; # ok, fully qualified
+ my $foo = 10; # ok, my() var
+ local $foo = 9; # blows up
+
+ package Cinna;
+ our $bar; # Declares $bar in current package
+ $bar = 'HgS'; # ok, global declared via pragma
+
+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.
+
+=item C<strict subs>
+
+This disables the poetry optimization, generating a compile-time error if
+you try to use a bareword identifier that's not a subroutine, unless it
+is a simple identifier (no colons) and that it appears in curly braces or
+on the left hand side of the C<< => >> symbol.
+
+ use strict 'subs';
+ $SIG{PIPE} = Plumber; # blows up
+ $SIG{PIPE} = "Plumber"; # just fine: quoted string is always ok
+ $SIG{PIPE} = \&Plumber; # preferred form
+
+=back
+
+See L<perlmodlib/Pragmatic Modules>.
+
+=head1 HISTORY
+
+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.
+
+Starting with Perl 5.8.1 strict is strict about its restrictions:
+if unknown restrictions are used, the strict pragma will abort with
+
+ Unknown 'strict' tag(s) '...'
+
+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.
