The classic way to do this is to export those variables via Exporter.

package Foo;
use base 'Exporter';
use vars qw( @ISA @EXPORT_OK $foo );
@EXPORT_OK = qw( $foo );

$foo = 3;

And then in your code:

use Foo qw($foo);
print $foo;

Note that the qw() operator is used. Those are strings being quoted, not variables. See perldoc Exporter for more information.
