Good point Aristotle. The only point I was trying to make is that he could try exporting the variable value (since the name is unimportant) via function/method. It seems the safest way considering that you don't always want to step on someone else's toes with variable names.

I've always been wary of things like  $pkg::var. If I can avoid it with the use of a function, I do. I never liked trying to remember all of the package variables from a package I didn't write. If you're using/writing a module that is OO-based, you should provide a method for getting the value of a certain attribute. And, even if you're writing something non-OO, you should _STILL_ provide some way of getting to a value without making your user remember a particular variable name (of course the exceptions to that rule are the common names, like $VERSION). At least, that's what I've always felt.
