*ahem* NEXT.pm uses strict. :)
Of course, Damian removed all the in-line comments explaining how
it all works from the patches I sent him. Hence the code
as you see it today (0.50).
If anyone's really curious as to how NEXT works, I'm sure I've
got the original patches around someplace.

I'd say the same should go for nice good things written in Perl as well.
Code reuse is your friend. :)
