lexical variables can never be accessed from outside your package/file. You need a package global variable, eg. our $description to be able to access it.
See perlmod for more on packages and modules.

    You don't need a package variable: you need an acccessor method. Global variables suck. :) 

    my $description = 'foo';

sub description { $description }
