Is this any different than Ruby or Python (or any other scripting(ish) language)? Ruby and Python are both good for sysadmin scripting, web frameworks, and big apps. So is Perl. The fact that use strict exists is hardly a flaw. It's a useful tool, and one that many of us use most of the time. The fact that is doesn't exist for Ruby or Python seems like the flaw. But if Python did add it, I wouldn't be surprised to see it default to off for a long time because of backwards compatibility, just like Perl.
