Untested. 
package strictitude;
require strict;

*unimport = \&strict::unimport;

sub import {
  if ($^V and $^V lt v5.6.0) {
    my $pkg = caller;
    *{"$pkg\::our"} = sub {@_[0..$#_]};
  }
  else {
    goto &strict::import;
  }
}

and then use strictitude rather than strict.

The idea is simple, if the Perl version is too low, export a useless our function to prevent errors and turn off strict checks. For recent Perls do what strict does so you can catch undeclared variables.
