Sorry for grave-digging, but this seems to be the closest thread that search manages to discover.

I'm trying to use a runtime-determined module (a game rules plugin for a game server). I want to import some functions and scalars into main namespace. Both eval "use $modulename"; and "eval require then manually import" as described above import the subs successfully, but fail to import scalars. I could, of course, manage with wrapping scalars into getter-setter functions but something seems funny here... Could anyone explain/help?

main.pl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $x='Exports';
eval "use $x";

asub();
#fails if I uncomment the next line - Global symbol "$ascalar" require
+s explicit package name
#print $ascalar, "\n";

Exports.pm

package Exports;

use strict;
use warnings;

use Exporter;
use base 'Exporter';

our @EXPORT = qw( $ascalar asub);

our $ascalar = 42;

sub asub {
  print "sub called\n";
}

1;
