If they're your packages to begin with you can always tell Exporter that you want to (conditionally) export them into use'ers namespace. If they're not yours (but you're determined to go mucking about in someone else's namespace anyhoo) there's always local *fbbq_scalar = \$Foo::Barista::Bazoo::Qux::the_scalar or something like the Lexical::Alias module. Or for more oop-y applications aliased might be relevant.
