I created a module from which I want to forcibly export a variable and optionally export a function. Problem is I seem to be able to either export forcibly (@EXPORT) or optionally (@EXPORT_OK) but not both. 
package testpack ;
use strict ;
use Exporter ;
our ($VERSION, @ISA, @EXPORT, @EXPORT_OK, $xyz) ;

$VERSION = 0.99 ;

@ISA = qw(Exporter) ;
@EXPORT = qw($xyz) ;
@EXPORT_OK = qw(&rtine) ;

$xyz = 888 ;

sub rtine {
    $xyz = 999 ;
    print "I\'m in the su-ub ! and xyz = $xyz \n" ;
}

1;

Heres the importing script : 
use strict ;
BEGIN{$Exporter::Verbose=1}
use testpack ('&rtine') ;

print "I\'m before the sub and xyz = $xyz \n" ;
&rtine ;
print "I\'m after the sub and xyz = $xyz \n" ;

When I run it, it doesn't import $xyz.. 
Exporter::import('testpack', '&rtine') called at E:\Sites\packnew\cgi-
+bin\test.pl

No matter how I twist and turn, I can't export forcibly the variable and optionally the function. Been at this for a day and a half. Anyone have a tip for me ? Phil.
