I agree here with gregor. It is mostly the right thing to add a 'use
strict' to every Perl code. At least a good best practice[1]. The
actual commit which added the mentioned 'use strict' was [2], which at
first glace the diff looks fine to me.

Could you give more information on which problems you see with
smbldap-tools? Should the bugreport reassigned to smbldap-tools?
