The documentation says:

     die_on_bad_params - if set to 0 the module will let you call
    $template->param(param_name => 'value') even if 'param_name' doesn't exist in
    the template body. Defaults to 1.

I always pass configuration variables to the template, although they are rarely
used. This can only be done by turning off die_on_bad_params. 

Another "use case" is that the HTDot and TT plugins do-- they both provide a
"c" parameter which corresponds to the the CGI::App object, so you can directly
access anything in the object without extra code. Very handy.

I haven't turned on die_on_bad_params in the past five years of web
application development. I don't recall experiencing any noticeable pain
or suffering as a result, just added convenience.

The problem is that name sound like "use strict", which makes it seem
good and worth doing. It's more like "use paranoid".
