I'm trying to export scalars from a module as below. MODULE: 
use Exporter;
use vars qw(@ISA @EXPORT $VERSION);

@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT = qw(Execute GetValue $PACKAGE_REQUEST_ID $BUGNUMBER $KBARTICL
+E $DISTMETHOD $MINSP $MAXSP $ISNONINSTALLINGPKG $JOBBRANCHNAME $HOTPA
+TCHBINARIES $BINARIESAFFECTED $BUGTITLE);
$VERSION = '1.00';


my($PACKAGE_REQUEST_ID, $BUGNUMBER, $KBARTICLE, $DISTMETHOD, $MINSP, $
+MAXSP, $ISNONINSTALLINGPKG, $JOBBRANCHNAME, $HOTPATCHBINARIES, $BINAR
+IESAFFECTED, $BUGTITLE);


BEGIN {

print "Begin has begun\n";

    $PACKAGE_REQUEST_ID = "PackageRequestID";
    $BUGNUMBER = "bugnumber";
    $KBARTICLE = "kbarticle";
    $DISTMETHOD = "distmethod";
    $MINSP = "minsp";
    $MAXSP = "maxsp";
    $ISNONINSTALLINGPKG = "isnoninstallingpkg";
    $JOBBRANCHNAME = "jobbranchname";
    $HOTPATCHBINARIES = "hotpathbinaries";
    $BINARIESAFFECTED = "binariesaffected";
    $BUGTITLE = "bugtitle";

    print "PRI is $PACKAGE_REQUEST_ID\n";

}

I believe this successfully exports the scalars because the interpreter doesn't complain when I access them from a pl file where use strict is enabled. However, when I try to access these variables, they are set to no value: 

    print "WHAT VALUE? $PACKAGE_REQUEST_ID" . "\n";

[download]
prints "WHAT VALUE?\n". What am I doing wrong?
