Strict Pragma vs Error Log

[audiopro]

My server error logs are picking up all kinds of non initialised variable errors which are not being detected at runtime, despite operating under strict.
Is this normal?

Quick answer: Yes, that is normal.

Slightly longer answer: Just because your code includes "use strict;", does not mean that the external modules enforce that pragma as well. They can very easily do an explicit "no strict;" for the own scope.

I've attempted to get rid of all of those warnings in the past, but mostly gave up on it as a minor issue.

Thanks
It only came to light when I set a recursive loop goimg and managed to over subscribe my available space. I was most concerned that in the circimstances, the server just froze up. The Error log was a 5.8 gig text file so I suppose I shouidn't b too concerned.

At least the experience taught me how to clear the log file using SSH, so all was not a waste of time.
