Fleece won't compile, because you're using strict, but $fleece was never declared. Normally, you'd use my $fleece, but Exporter can only export package variables (and subs). That means you need to use our $fleece;.

Also, you should explicitely return a true value from your module. In this case, it happens to return true by coincidence, but I recommend you add 1; to the end of your module.

Finally, your script won't work either because you never told Exporter to export $fleece. Add our @EXPORT = qw( $fleece ); to Fleece if you want it exported by default, or add our @EXPORT_OK = qw( $fleece ); to export it on demand. 

use warnings;
use strict;

use Fleece qw( $fleece );

my $BNAME = 'Mary';
print "$BNAME had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb,\n";
print "$BNAME had a little lamb,\n";
print "It's fleece was $fleece.\n";

package Fleece;

use strict;
use warnings;

use Exporter;

our @EXPORT_OK = qw( $fleece );

our $fleece = "white as snow.\n";

1;
