this is misleading, no strict "vars" has a different effect.

{
    local our $bob;
    #no strict 'vars';
    $bob = "bob";
    warn "$bob\n";                # > bob
    package OTHER;
    warn "$bob\n";                # > bob
}

    no strict 'vars';
    $bob = "bob";
    warn "$bob\n";                # > bob
    package OTHER;
    warn "$bob\n";                 
    # ERR: Use of uninitialized value $OTHER::bob in concatenation

well not completely, since local can't be used for private vars
