Oh, ye hallowed possessors of divine Perl wisdom...

I need to ask about modifying my variables defined in another module.

Assuming the following module: 
package MODPERL::SausageGrinder;
my $foo;

[download]
Within my code, I attempt the following: 
use MODPERL::SausageGrinder;
$MODPERL::SausageGrinder::foo = 1;

[download]

Yet when debugging, foo is later used within a subroutine defined within the SausageGrinder module. There, I'm seeing that foo is not set as I did within my code (calling module).

Is it possible to modify my variables within another module thy lowly newbie humbly asks?
