I'm working on a fairly large project and decided to split things up nicely into packages. One of these packages is called dslDefine. It's in /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/dslDefine.pm. I use exporter to export out some variables (lexically scoped) such as usernames and such that should be visible everywhere. I have all the variables exported thusly:

our @EXPORT = qw($VAR1 $VAR2...);

This library is used in dslRB (/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/dslRB.pm) via a standard use statement. The problem I'm having is that the variables defined in dslDefine, while apparently exported (No complaints from "use strict"), yield an undefined variable error whenever I try to use them.

Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this? If there's a vastly superior way to go about this, please let me know.
