Seems to work OK for me. I've never had any problems with this. Could you post some code, particularly how @EXPORT and friends are populated.

Just knocked up the following to prove that export behaves as expected: (note that I have not called the packages A and B because of a potential namespace clash with B::)

Alpha.pm

package Alpha;
use strict;

BEGIN {
        use Exporter ();
        use vars qw ($VERSION @ISA @EXPORT @EXPORT_OK %EXPORT_TAGS);
        $VERSION     = 0.01;
        @ISA         = qw (Exporter);
        @EXPORT      = qw (foo);
        @EXPORT_OK   = qw (foo);
        %EXPORT_TAGS = ( all => [qw/foo/]);
}

sub foo {
        print "Working\n";
}

1;

Bravo.pm

package Bravo;
use strict;
use Alpha;

BEGIN {
        use Exporter ();
        use vars qw ($VERSION @ISA @EXPORT @EXPORT_OK %EXPORT_TAGS);
        $VERSION     = 0.01;
        @ISA         = qw (Exporter);
        @EXPORT      = qw (bar);
        @EXPORT_OK   = qw (bar);
        %EXPORT_TAGS = ( all => [qw/bar/]);
}

sub bar {
        foo();
}

1;

Executing the command perl -MBravo -e "bar()" outputs the string "working".
