Whoops, I forgot what I actually have written. Foo::Constants should have looked like this:

# Foo/Constants.pm

package Foo::Constants;

use base "Exporter";

use constant PI => 3;

our @EXPORT = (PI);

As such, I can use PI fron within any package that does "use Foo:Constants", but not from any of its subclasses. Thanks!
