Is there some reason why you couldn't just have your module export the variables you'd like to expose to it's users? :)

package MyModule;
use vars qw(@ISA @EXPORT_OK $name $street $city $zip);
BEGIN {
  @ISA = qw(Exporter);
  @EXPORT_OK = qw($name $street $city $zip);
  require Exporter;
}

my $callback;

sub set_callback(&) { $callback = shift }

sub exec_callback {
  local(($name, $street, $city, $zip) = @_);
  $callback->();
}

package Main;
BEGIN { import MyModule qw($name $street $city $zip) }

MyModule::set_callback { $name =~ /^[a-zA-Z\s]+$/ and $zip =~/^\d+$/ }
+;

MyModule::exec_callback('Bob', '600 1st St.', 'Beverly Hills', '90210'
+)
        and print "Record is valid.\n";

Once MyModule was moved into it's own file, you could replace the ugly BEGIN { import ... } line with just use MyModule qw($name $street $city $zip).

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
