One way is to just comment out the use strict when you check the code into your revision control system. That way, when you install onto your Production servers, use strict will be disabled. When you develop, uncomment the same line after you check it out from your version control system.

Having addressed your question, please check out this thread regarding using strict. Not using it can be compared to not wearing seat belts, not checking your chute before going skydiving, not wearing orange when hunting and not wearing a helmet when driving a motorcycle. I sure don't want to start a side thread based on those comparisons -- you already know that you should be using strict. You know that you should be doing testing. It's a philosophical thing -- figure out what you should be doing, then be that person.

Good luck.
