Well perl 5.00502 as that message indicates the version in question is certainly did have strict I have a horrible feeling that you are going to find something even worse wrong with the perl installation even if you fix that, I suspect that they probably have just copied the perl binary without the libraries or just a few of them.

Of course you could do something like:

BEGIN
{
   eval
   {
      require strict;
   };
   strict->import() unless $@;
}

but I think you will find that you end up playing whack-a-mole with stuff like that until the perl installation is repaired.
