When I uncomment that line, I get:

# Global symbol "USAGE" requires explicit package name.
File 'Untitled'; Line 6
# Global symbol "Prog" requires explicit package name.
File 'Untitled'; Line 6
# BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted.
File 'Untitled'; Line 8

because of 'use strict;'


What is the actual code that demonstrated this problem?


When I comment 'use strict;', I get identical error messages whether or not
the $USAGE line is commented.
