Without strict, it's lighter

Found in some build script:

perl -pi -e 's/^use strict/#use strict/g' someprog.pl


You know, guys, removing "strict" from your code before deployment is a bit like removing the safety belt from your car, thinking that without those few dozen grams, it's going to be faster.


Well duh...

More code is still more code even if the person doing that is an idiot. http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=563538 shows off someone who tried to argue that leaving off strict.pm was a valid thing for avoiding it's "runtime penalty." (of calling strict->import I suppose)
