I'm glad to find the STRICT option available in versions 2.21 and
above. It would be nice if it were the default. ;-) Failing that,
please document it prominently in the main synopsis, e.g.

    my $config = {
      STRICT => 1, # new since version 2.21
      ...

I would recommend that process() throw an error if the stricture checks
fail. It might be early enough to get away with that rather than
needing a NO_REALLY_STRICT_I_MEAN_IT option.

Thanks,
Eric

At this point making strict default would be a major behavior change. I don't think that's appropriate. Possibly we could make it default if you do:

use Template qw(strict)
