Good Evening Monks,

I recently stumbled over a fact that didn't let me stop thinking about it.
I have two Perl scripts, let's say "index.pl" and "engine.pl".

Content of "index.pl": 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict
require('engine.pl');

.
.
.

Content of "engine.pl": 
#use strict;
use CGI;
use HTML::Template;
use XML::Simple;

.
.
.

1;

You see that the first line of the second script is actually a comment, because strict is already used in "index.pl".
I tested the use of strict twice. When I uncomment use strict; in "engine.pl", warnings and errors are printed out
(I intentionally did some bad things to test strict). Without use strict; in "engine.pl" the script does run without these warnings.
It seems to me that require() has turned off strict or has done something similar. Should I just go on double-using strict in both files?

Has anyone an idea of the circumstances given?

Thanks,
BioHazard
reading between the lines is my real pleasure.
