Well it's documented for "MODULE"s, but is it evident that it's possible to call an "import" method on a pragma?

There is no builtin "import" function.

Hmm at least it's consistent, which is brilliant! :)

nonsense, I oversaw it there! ;)

Yes, and if you look right above, all the usage modes of use are use Module ...; except for use VERISON;.

and if you look further down pragmas are called "pseudo-modules".

I will open a ticket to add the "use stricter" example to the perldoc.

UPDATE:

pragmas are not even mentioned in require, it only talks about "library files" and do/eval file mechanisms.

Otherwise, require demands that a library file be included if it hasn't already been included. The file is included via the do-FILE mechanism, which is essentially just a variety of eval with the caveat that lexical variables in the invoking script will be invisible to the included code. Has semantics similar to the following subroutine: ...
