Which safety net do you use in Perl?

Which safety net do you use?

use warnings;

or

use strict;

I know that

A potential problem caught by use strict; will cause your code to stop immediately when it is encountered, while use warnings; will merely give a warning (like the command-line switch -w) and let your code run.

Still I want to know that which one is mostly used by the Perl-programmers. Which one they have seen being used the most?

Both, of course. If perl were designed today, use strict and use warnings would be the default behavior. It's just like having warnings turned on in a compiler - why would you not do that by default?
