This is a deliberate exception, see strict:
There is one exception to this rule:
$bar = \&{'foo'};
&$bar;
is allowed so that "goto &$AUTOLOAD" would not break unde
+r
stricture.
and running your code through
B::Deparse you get (leaving out all the 'feature' stuff):
sub test {
goto \&{'greet';};
}
which triggers the exception.
UPDATE: checking your actual code, it is in
sub AUTOLOAD, exactly the reason why the exception exists. If something about strict mode confuses, check
strict first.
