It enables to restrict unsafe constructs like you need to declare a variable before using it and many more. You write a program, you will understand more. Always write below two line for better code in Perl. use strict; use warnings; Hope this helps. read less

Warnings: (-w) warnings, is a improved version of the -w flag. The warnings pragmata provides us with lots of run-time warnings that in many cases indicate some kind of a problem or a potential problem.

Warnings: (-w) warnings, is a improved version of the -w flag. The warnings pragmata provides us with lots of run-time warnings that in many cases indicate some kind of a problem or a potential problem. Taint: (-T) Perl automatically enables a set of special security checks, called taint mode, when it detects its program running with differing real and effective user or group IDs. You can also enable taint mode explicitly by using the -T command line flag. This flag is strongly suggested for server programs and any program run on behalf of someone else, such as a CGI script. Once taint mode is on, it's on for the remainder of your script. Strict: To help you catch typos so you can quickly get on to finding more significant problems (and so we don't have to catch the typos for you either), among other reasons. Its difficult to spot '$recieve_date' when on the previous page you've been calling it '$receive_date'. Also, to give your variables as small a scope as possible so that you don't have to worry about what they're doing to other parts of your program (although that's the function of my, it forces you to use my which when properly used helps achieve this goal). The pragmas catch many errors sooner than they would be caught otherwise, which makes it easier to find the root causes of the errors. The root cause might be the need for an error or validation check, and that can happen regardless or programmer skill. read less

To add to the above said points from various perl practitioners: -w (warnings): Using -w flag while executing a perl program spits out warning messages when it identifies that perl program consists of possible coding mistakes. The warning messages will be displayed for the below anomalies. 1. Any operation (except initialization) attempted on the uninitialized variables 2. Comparison operation is attempted on variables holding different types of data (ex: string with number) 3. Redefining an already defined subroutine within the same program (multiple definition). strict: This package helps in enforcing couple of programming standards into perl program. Below are the list of programming standards enforced by strict package. 1. All the variables must be defined with a specific scope (my,local,our). 2. Symbolic references should not be used in the program. while -w is non-fatal it just throws up the warnings and your program will still continue for further execution, while strict is fatal. So any violation of the programming standards specified by strict would cause the program to terminate. read less

strict is a module which is mandatory to be in use for each perl program you write. We can say this is similar to gcc compiler options. such as -Wall etc .. You can write program without using strict module. Strict helps you to detect the error of statement before it ends in unexpected output.

-w used for Warnings like a variable is declared but not used, a variable is used before being set, etc.... -t is taunt check , Perl takes special precautions called taint checks to prevent both obvious and subtle traps. Some of these checks are reasonably simple, such as verifying that path directories aren't writable by others; careful programmers have always used checks like these. STRICT is for syntactical checkings like each line ended with ; or not, open curly brace given { but there is no corresponding closing curly brace }, etc.... read less
