This has nothing to do with "strict subs".  When you "use
Win32::Process" then you are importing several symbols at compile time
into your own namespace.  If you simply "require Win32::Process" at
runtime, then those symbols have not been imported and must be used
fully qualified:

    Win32::Process::NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS()

instead of

    NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS

This is not a bug in the module; this is just how Perl works.
