in reply to Making strict optional

You're asking the wrong question. strict.pm was included in Perl 5.005. If your installation doesn't have it then your installation is badly broken and can't be trusted. I recommend getting Perl reinstalled on that server as a matter of some urgency. You shouldn't be trying to work around its problems.

If you can't get Perl reinstalled then I recommend getting a new hosting company, sysadmin or job as appropriate.

    I'm currently on contract with the sysadmin group at this random large corporation, so I suppose I'm in as good of a position as anyone to try to get it fixed. I expect the attempt to fail, thanks to their paranoid change management policies, but, if it does fail, my contract runs out in a month, so I'll be getting a new job anyhow.
