In effect, this is an update to the grandparent node, after returning from the fire call which interrupted my reply:

Have you searched your disk for strict.pm to see if (a) it's installed somewhere odd or (b) is missing entirely?

When installing the latest version, did you replace or retain the older one? If so, could you have a registry problem?

And, you may find value in chromatic's Re: @INC or the replies to How to Add path to @INC or perhaps even the faq, How do I add a directory to my include path at runtime? (which offers as its last possibility, what amounts to a workaround. You may also be able to find other related items in Search (in the Perl Monks bar) atop the page.

And, of course, check ActiveState's site to see if others have noted a similar problem or offered an answer.
