[Eric Wong]

Small LoC reductions, and maybe to benefit from some eventual
future where Perl standard libraries can be sped up by avoiding
strict.pm entirely...

We'll still stick to v5.10.1, mainly, but use v5.12 in a few places...

[PATCH 2/2] lei: move to v5.12 to avoid "use strict"

[Eric Wong]

Socket.pm still loads strict.pm, unfortunately, which hurts
startup time; but we'll save some LoC this way.
