Here is my take on this:

Assuming your global using package looks like this... 

--- Global.pm ---
$GLOBAL = 'Bad bad global';
sub dumbproc {
        $GLOBAL = 'Still sucks';
}

Then you can hide the globals like this... 

--- HideGlobals.pm ---
package HideGlobals;
use vars qw( @ISA @EXPORT_OK );
require Exporter;
@ISA = qw( Exporter );

use Globals;

@EXPORT_OK = qw( &hidden_dumbproc );

sub hidden_dumbproc {
        dumbproc(@_);
        return $GLOBAL;
}
1;

Here is my test code... 

use HideGlobals qw( &hidden_dumbproc );

print $HideGlobals::GLOBAL, "\n";

print &hidden_dumbproc, "\n";
