Globals *are* the default in current perl; and having strict 'vars'
on does not magically change that.
strict 'subs', strict 'refs', and -w have no bearing on any of this,

Even better, perl6 will be much more easily hackable (by design)
than perl5 is, so we should able to try making these modifications

at your own sites.

Don't hold your breath.
(All this to save two keystrokes. Sheesh.)
