As is documented, all you have to do is have:

custom_variable_classes = 'plperl'
plperl.use_strict = 'true'

in your config. You only need to put the documented BEGIN block in your
function body if you want to do use strict mode on a case by case basis.

We can't allow an unrestricted "use strict;" in plperl functions because
it invokes an operation (require) that Safe.pm rightly regards as unsafe.
