Thanks for the reply Kanji.

I've restructured my code as you advise, however, and this is why I was using the 'no strict "subs"' clause (although the context in my original post didn't make sense), I get an error on compilation.

Here's the code snippet -

if ($os_type eq "NT") {
  require Win32::EventLog;
  import Win32::EventLog qw / :DEFAULT /;

  my $eventlog_type;
  if ($priority ne "info") {
    $eventlog_type = EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE;
  } else {
    $eventlog_type = EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE;
  }

  $eventlog->Report({
                     EventType => $eventlog_type,
                     Strings   => $message,
                    });

}

This generates the errors -

Bareword "EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE" not allowed while "strict subs" in us
+e at scriptname line 2007.
Bareword "EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE" not allowed while "strict subs" i
+n use at scriptname line 2010.

If I prefix the exported variables with Win32::EventLog, I get the same error. It's just struck me that this may be a problem with Win32::EventLog itself - I can see in EventLog.pm where the variables are exported, but I can't see where they're declared.... hmmmm.
