They're on the OS X installation DVDs that come with the MAC too.

That's a little harsh, especially considering that the statements you
made, which I objected to, are simply false.

Please show me where I said it was a good idea to not use strict.

I didn't object to the philosophy of use strict. I objected to your
blatantly false claim that it was in any way REQUIRED. It is *not*
required. Your script will happily compile *without* use strict. Is it a
good idea to not use it? No. That's why I said it is RECOMMENDED. You
need to relax a little bit and read what you are getting all worked up
about.

Hence MOST, not EVERY. You can't possibly tell me that you think use
strict should be used in simple one-liners. And even if you do, it is
still in no way REQUIRED.
