OK, I'll bite and copy/paste what you wrote.

    # perl -e 'use strict; print map {"$_ => $INC{$_}\n"} keys %I'
    Global symbol "%I" requires explicit package name at -e line 1.
    Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
    #

Hmmm.  Maybe you didn't copy and paste...

    # perl -e 'use strict; print map {"$_ => $INC{$_}\n"} keys %INC'
    strict.pm => /usr/share/perl5/strict.pm
    #

    $ perl -le 'use strict; print "ok"'
    ok
    $

Your installation is broken.  This file (and all Perl module files)
should have 0644 permissions -- not execute.

    $ ls -l /usr/share/perl5/strict.pm
    -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3933 Jan  7 09:48 /usr/share/perl5/strict.pm
    $

The error message you encountered may be because of you not having
access to an intermediate directory in the path to strict.pm.  You
should check that:

    $ for d in /usr /usr/share /usr/share/perl5;do ls -ld $d;done
    drwxr-xr-x. 12 root root 4096 Dec 21 11:13 /usr/
    drwxr-xr-x. 288 root root 12288 Mar 28 15:24 /usr/share/
    drwxr-xr-x. 49 root root 4096 Jan 11 17:59 /usr/share/perl5/
    $

Anyway, since one thing in your installation is hosed, you probably
should reinstall perl to get the correct permissions set on its files.

I would be wondering how I managed to do that to the file, though.
The rpm -V command /might/ be of help to you.

Hmmm.  Any AVCs?
