According to Peter Scott:

This could be OK, maybe. But "no strict" must always be convenient
for quick&dirty code, or there's no point in having it. So "no
strict" should be [1] made very convenient, probably as a command line
option and [2] automatically the default when using the '-e' option.

Portability is an issue here. Perhaps the default strictness could
vary by the directory where the code is found. That way you could
have Abigail's code in the "declare your variables or suffer!"
directory, and Randal's in the "what does 'strict' mean?" directory.
