"use strict" breaking run-mailcap's argument parsing ?

[Charles Plessy <plessy@debian.org>]

Hello, debian-perl !

Following #803729 I have added "use strict" to the run-mailcap Perl
script, which is probably installed on your system.

But after receiving reports of crashes (#939226), I have the impression,
that "use strict" broke the script's argument parsing, for instance the
following lines:

    elsif (m!^--(.*?)=(.*)$!) {
        print STDERR "Warning: definition of \"$1=$2\" overrides value \"${$1}\"\n" if ($ {$1} && $ {$1} != $2);
	$ {$1}=$2;
    }

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/mime-support/blob/master/run-mailcap#L328-331

In my understanding one can not write things like ${$foo} or ${$1} under
"use strict", and I am tempted to remove the "use strict" statement for
the moment.  But do you see a better solution, or is there a volunteer
to rewrite the argument parsing in a more "strict" way ?

Have a nice day,

Charles
