'use strict' and 'use warnings' are implemented in the interpreter.

There exists 'strict.pm' and 'warnings.pm' modules, but all they do is
to set internal compiler flags, causing the interpreter to emit the
errors/warnings as it processes the code.  They are just thin wrappers
and splitting them off from core perl would make no sense.
