That Perl.com article you reference states:

Perl 5.12 also enables strictures when it encounters use 5.012

I think the confusion is that the term "strictures" in the article loosely refers to the strict and warnings pragmas, which are part of the Core Perl distribution. The term does not refer to the strictures.pm module, which Corion pointed out is not part of the Core.

Adding use 5.012; will add strict ~~and warnings~~, but it will not add strictures.

UPDATE: corrected mistake.

For giggles... The strictures, according to Seuss

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
