I was getting an error in one of my progs and distilled the problem. I only tested it on 5.16 and 5.20, but I don't remember any changes in more recent perls that might indicate it's fixed. 
# 
# note: may need to install "mem" ("cpan -i mem")
# 

use strict; use warnings;

{ package Fields;
  use strict; use warnings;
  use mem;
  our (@flds, @EXPORT);
  @EXPORT=qw(@flds);
  use Exporter 'import';
}
######################################################################
+##########
package main; use strict; use warnings;
use Fields;

my $nfld = scalar @flds;

I get error: 

> perl t02-array.t
Global symbol "@flds" requires explicit package name at t02-array.t li
+ne 19.
Execution of t02-array.t aborted due to compilation errors.

If I put qw(@flds) after the use Fields, I get: 
"@flds" is not exported by the Fields module

I think I'm missing something obvious.... :-(.

Thanks...
