Actually, I'd personally prefer the warnings to be promoted to exceptions. Warnings are often far too easily missed. That said, some warnings can be a bit confusing then set to fatal.
The problem with that is that compile-time warnings promoted into exceptions don't work. They kill the compiler, which means you never learn what the real problem was.
I find this interesting. I ran into a code base which had evolved without strict.pm. To ever be able to sanely add strict.pm, it'd have to be implementable as a warning. I've been of the opinion that everything strict.pm does ought to be able to considered just warnings that have been promoted to 'FATAL'.
