No offense but mass importing of tons of variables is a really really bad idea. If you want to use globals, why not just give them their own short package name like so.
package CFG;

So at least looking at your source 3 months later it's clear what the hell $CFG:this is and you won't step on any variables in the scripts or vice/versa unintentionally.

But to give you enough rope to hang yourself, you could do something like this.
package other;

$VAR = 'SCALAR';
@array = ('ARRAY') x 4;
my @exports = qw ($VAR @array);



sub import {
    no strict 'refs';
    my $used_name = shift; # Remove the use name
    my $that_pack = caller();
    foreach (@exports){
        m/^([\@\$\*\&\%])(\w+)/;
        my ($t,$v) = ($1,$2);
        # Selectively assign to typeglobs.
        *{$that_pack.'::'.$v} = $t eq '@' && \@{$v} || $t eq '%' && \%
+{$v} || 
                                $t eq '&' && \&{$v} || $t eq '$' && \$
+{$v} || 
                                $t eq '*' && \*{$v};
    }

}


package main;

other::import();


foreach (sort keys %main::){
    print __PACKAGE__,"\:\:$_ = $main::{$_}\n";
}
warn "\$VAR is $VAR";
warn join(", ",@array);

Fixed typo in code.
