That's what strict does. This same behavior is observed under straight
perl (i.e. without using mod_perl or Embperl).

{
  no strict;
  sub;    # ok       # same as sub(@_);
  ⊂   # ok       # same as sub(@_);
  sub();  # ok
  &sub(); # ok       # same as sub();
}

{
  use strict;
  sub;    # not ok   # same as sub(@_);
  ⊂   # ok       # same as sub(@_);
  sub();  # ok
  &sub(); # ok       # same as sub();
}
