okay lets say I have this code to access a server/database and I have repeating variables and these are the repeating errors I have on strict. Variable "$VARDB_DATABASE" is not imported AT PROJECT.PL LINE 43. I get this for the other variables as well then Global symbol "$VARDB_DATABASE" requires explicit package name AT PROJECT LINE 43. Keep in mind this works with out strict for me. (paragraph)

     #path to astguiclient configuration file:
$PATHconf = '/etc/astguiclient.conf';

open(conf, "$PATHconf") || die "can't open $PATHconf: $!\n";
@conf = <conf>;
close(conf);
my $i=0;
foreach(@conf){
    $line = $conf[$i];
    $line =~ s/ |>|\n|\r|\t|\#.*|;.*//gi;
    if ( ($line =~ /^PATHlogs/) && ($CLIlogs < 1) )
    {$PATHlogs = $line;   $PATHlogs =~ s/.*=//gi;}
    if ( ($line =~ /^PATHsounds/) && ($CLIsounds < 1) )
        {$PATHsounds = $line;   $PATHsounds =~ s/.*=//gi;}
    if ( ($line =~ /^VARserver_ip/) && ($CLIserver_ip < 1) )
        {$VARserver_ip = $line;   $VARserver_ip =~ s/.*=//gi;}
    if ( ($line =~ /^VARDB_server/) && ($CLIDB_server < 1) )
        {$VARDB_server = $line;   $VARDB_server =~ s/.*=//gi;}
