I've no idea what you want to do. &call_variables doesn't expose any variables to the outside - all it does is return values. A shorter way of writing call_variables is: 
sub call_variables {
    split /~/ => scalar param 'spec_vars'
}

(assuming you call it in list context).

In general, if you want to share code, one uses use, or require and sometimes do. You may want to make use of the Exporter module to export names from the called package to the calling package.
