OK, what you think you are doing is not what you are actually doing...

The problem is the my(...). This declares a whole bunch of lexically scoped variables, which are completely different to the symbols in the @EXPORT array. Things in the @EXPORT... structures are things in the packages symbol table - and lexically scoped variables are most definitely not in the symbol table.

I'll say again - the things in the my() are not the same as the things in the @EXPORT array. This is the crux of your issue.

The quickest solution is to change the my to our (if your perl has this new-ish keyword) or change the my to use vars qw(...) and remove the commas in the list.

package thingy; use warnings; use strict; use Exporter; use vars qw(@ISA @EXPORT $VERSION); use vars qw($PACKAGE_REQUEST_ID $BUGNUMBER $KBARTICLE $DISTMETHOD $MIN +SP $MAXSP $ISNONINSTALLINGPKG $JOBBRANCHNAME $HOTPATCHBINARIES $BINAR +IESAFFECTED $BUGTITLE); @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'; ...
The longer solution is to read every article in Tutorials on variables. Only then may you claim true mastery.
