Now suppose I do this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use SomeModule;use strict;
use Code::Police;

foo(); chomp, bar; something_else;

What happens here? The use strict is invisible to the Code::Police, and so tpircs ym yfisdrawkcab yeht.

Now, what if I do this?

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Code::Police;
BEGIN
{
    eval '#' . <<'';
use strict;

}

The Code::Police then see a strict where there isn't one, and let the script pass through unharmed. The original way of detecting strict I think is probably better.
