[HACKERS] use strict in all Perl programs

От

Here is a patch to add 'use strict' to all Perl programs (that I could
find), or move it to the right place where it was already there.  I
think that is a pretty standard thing to do nowadays.

I tried testing the changes in pgcheckdefines, but it just spits out
nonsense before and after.

What about adding as well "use warnings"? That's standard in all the TAP tests.

'use strict' can be statically checked using perl -c, but 'use warnings'
is run-time behavior, so one would have to extensively test the involved
programs.  Some cursory checking already reveals that this is going to
need to more investigation.  So in principle yes, but maybe later.

With regard to warnings, I prefer to use:

use warnings FATAL => qw(all);

This transforms all warnings into errors rather than just printing a 
message to stderr, which is very easy to miss among the other output.

Interesting. A couple of warnings have slipped a couple of times in
some TAP tests like those of pg_rewind, so it could be useful to
switch to that at least for the tests by detault.
