Hmm, $^H, that's the one with "don't cross the streams" written all over it, isn't it? :) I think I prefer tye's solution, although you've given me another lesson (always check the module). I had mistakenly assumed there wouldn't be a strict.pm, since it was just a pragma, although I was slightly confused in Exporter.pm when I saw there was no code to handle the pragmas differently.

As for turning off strict, it's mainly about keeping the webserver log files clean - we do a lot of traffic analysis on the log files (even the error logs), and Perl error messages can sometimes screw it up. Plus, we have an alternative system for collecting error messages and assertion failures. It's not as tight as strict, but that's the opportunity cost.

Thanks!
