Basics: I'm using mod_perl and getting a 502 error on one file

If I don't use strict, then it passes through fine, with nothing other than my own printed errors in the log

However, if I do use strict, the script fails in the most vital place (I'm positive all the variables are instantiated and have correct values) 

require "preload/$fileHandle\_build2.pl";
print &$conBuild($data,$file,$num,$ty,1);

Basically I'm dynamically setting the function name after dynamically requiring a file.

This is the error:

Can't use string ("rss_function") as a subroutine ref while "strict refs" in use at widget_load.pl line 120.

It seems that strict doesn't like dynamically setting function names, its just mod_perl doesn't seem to like to run any of my scripts unless they're strict. Cheers!
