I am not a Perl person, but it does sound to me like a lot of this thread is is missing what's going on, yeah. They're not changing the language, they're just changing the runtime to use better, more modern defaults. I don't know if you would be able to put in "use unstrict" or something and get back the old behavior, but any actively-maintained code is probably using most of these newer defaults anyway.
