Hello,

I started out learning Perl today, but strict mode is just *weird* and not usefull? Why should I use it?

What makes $Username different than the other variables?
I was wondering, why I have to use "my ($Username)" to get this working:


Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# v1.pl
# Works as supposed and connects to the database.
use strict;
use DBI;
...
