I filed a bug report about this a while back to p5p + patches to strict. To actually complain when strict is handed something it doesn't understand.

I was about to point out that the syntax was wrong but, on testing, I find that it works (it creates a package variable).Does it? Seems just to be an expensive noop. Did you have warnings turned on? As I recall, strict doesn't complain if you pass it something it doesn't recognise. This is so that new strictures can be more easily added.
