It dies when the block returns false and `STRICT` mode is enabled. When `STRICT` mode is disabled, the block is ignored at compile time. The syntax is simple, `assert BLOCK`. `STRICT` mode is controlled by [Devel::StrictMode](https://metacpan.org/pod/Devel%3A%3AStrictMode). # SEE ALSO [PerlX::Assert](https://metacpan.org/pod/PerlX%3A%3AAssert), [Devel::Assert](https://metacpan.org/pod/Devel%3A%3AAssert), [Carp::Assert](https://metacpan.org/pod/Carp%3A%3AAssert) # LICENSE Copyright (C) kobaken.
