If you turn strict off, you can have doIt() or die screaming as literal code.

  If you make a screaming sub, that doesn't even require foregoing strict: $ perl -E 'use strict; use warnings; sub screaming { "SCREAM" } sub doIt { 0 } doIt or die screaming' SCREAM at -e line 1. Hell, we can go full English if we want: $ perl -E 'use strict; use warnings; sub screaming {"SCREAM"} sub it {0} sub do {0} do it or die screaming' SCREAM at -e line 1. For those following along that aren't quite as familiar with Perl, that's a statement "do it or die screaming" which is all completely valid, strict and well defined Perl. When not a one-liner, it would be: use strict; use warnings; sub screaming {"SCREAM"} sub it {0} sub do {0} do it or die screaming
