in thread Exporter usage?

You can, but only if $CGI is not declared using my. This means either a use vars '$CGI'; or our $CGI (or don't declare it at all and don't use strict, but you should use strict).

    Still doesn't work: 
    package Foo;
use strict;
require Exporter;
use vars qw(@ISA @EXPORT @EXPORT_OK);
@ISA = qw(Exporter);

@EXPORT_OK = qw($CGI);
@EXPORT = qw($CGI);

use CGI;
our $CGI = new CGI;
die $CGI;

# I tried the export stuff down here, too

1;

use Foo qw($CGI);

      Hm. I was prepared to appolgize for posting without testing, and being wrong thereby... but all I can say is that it works fine for me... so long as I put the first and second parts of this in different files. Otherwise, I get an error because there is no Foo.pm -- are you sure you're picking up the right file?
