[x] FileHandle.pm fails if Exporter has not been loaded previously

I just found out that FileHandle.pm doesn't work if I don't "use" an exporter module
before it:

% perl -MFileHandle -e "print $^O"
Bareword "Exporter::export" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at I:\Perl\lib/FileHandle.pm line 80.
String found where operator expected at I:\Perl\lib/FileHandle.pm line 80, near "Exporter::export 'Fcntl'"
	(Do you need to predeclare Exporter::export?)
syntax error at I:\Perl\lib/FileHandle.pm line 80, near "Exporter::export 'Fcntl'"
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

% perl -MExporter -MFileHandle -e "print $^O"
MSWin32

This is with Perl5.004_04 trial 3 on WinNT., but it doesn't look like a new problem.
