Virtualization-VMWare-daemon-3.2.0 failed to start on CentOs 7

[philipraets]

With the update to the latest Virtualization-VMWare-daemon-3.2.0 with yum update, centreon_vmware fails to start with following error:

Global symbol "%vm" requires explicit package name at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/centreon/vmware/cmddiscovery.pm line 156

For now I've put "use strict" in a comment, so the service starts.

Thanks for the fast fix. I've applied the fix manually, and everything is fine.
