Hi, Attached is my contribution to modernize the strict.pm module. The attached patch (a bit corrected) makes regular expression more readable, more efficient and more useful for occasional novice user who occasionally will read this. Additional benefit here is lifting extra limitation, which was unintentionally introduced by change e3def60 and documented in https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127512 Thanks in advance for considering my humble but sincere addition, Best regards, Vadim.Thread Next
