I tried using Exporter as you described above (great example, thanks) but Apache/mod_perl kept complaining that :all wasn't being exported.

I gave up on this after a while and am trying to simply use our and call the vars with $Config::var. I'm getting the same error as before and there are no values associated with the variables. I added a print STDERR "database is $Config::database\n"; to demonstrate.

Snippet from Config.pm:

package Config.pm;
use strict;

###########################
# user options            #
###########################
our $database = 'data/site.db';
our $tmplfile = 'templates/index.html';

A couple snippets from index.cgi:

use strict;
my $database = $Config::database;
my $tmplfile = $Config::tmplfile;
...
print STDERR "FOOBAR $Config::database\n";
my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => $tmplfile, die_on_bad_p
+arams => 0);

And the error:

FOOBAR
