in thread Exporter. Correct way to override import?

The Exporter POD also includes (in the Good Practices section no less):

When using Exporter with the standard strict and warnings pragmas, the our keyword is needed to declare the package variables @EXPORT_OK, @EXPORT, @ISA, etc.

our @ISA = qw(Exporter); our @EXPORT_OK = qw(munge frobnicate);
