I'm using Import::Base to generate boilerplate for my tests: 

package Test::Utils;
use parent 'Import::Base';

our @IMPORT_MODULES = (
    'strict',
    'warnings',
    feature => [qw(:5.14)],
    'Data::Dumper' => [qw(Dumper)],
    'Test::More',
    'Test::Exception',
    'Test::Output',
    'Test::Dirs',
    'Test::Utils::Dump' => [qw(d d0 d1 $doff)],
    'Term::ANSIColor',
);

At the top of my test file, I have use Test::Utils and so strict is in effect. However, since perlcritic doesn't compile all the code, it's throwing warnings at me about not using strict. I tried to quiet the warnings in a .perlcriticrc file in my t directory: 

severity = 5
[-TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseStrict]

But in nvim, I'm still seeing "S>" in a red background and when I put my cursor on the first line of code, the status line is showing this warning: "(5) Code before strictures are enabled (See page 429 of PBP)". Anything else I can do to suppress this warning?

UPDATE: I thought I found a solution using equivalent_modules=Test::Utils but it had no effect.
