Using symbolic references for plain variables works as expected. However, I'm stuck on how to reference 'flag' below.

Origional code: 
package Util::Stuff::aaa1;
sub flag { 10 }
####

use Util::Stuff;

print Util::Stuff::aaa1->flag; # yields 10
...
our $v = 'Util::Stuff::aaa1';
print $$v->flag;               # yields undef error
...
our $v = 'Util::Stuff::aaa1->flag';
print "$$v\n";                 # yields nothing

If it wasn't for the need to find a clean way to glue two separate projects together, I wouldn't bother with this. However, it's an interesting issue and I'm keen to learn something different.

Thanks!
Henry
