Global variables from a module, while using strict

I have a module which is basically a about 50 global variables and about 2 methods.  Because I am ‘using’ strict, all of the variables are declared with ‘my’.

 

I in my scripts which use  the module, I can’t access any of the variables, though I can access the sub routines.

 

I looked at Exporter, but there are two problems with the examples I see.  One, they export the globals into the ‘main’ namespace, which I don’t want.  I want them to be accessable like this: Module::myGlobal.  The other examples show the importing script explicity importing every variable.  This would be very tedious.

 

Here is an example of what I want:

 

<Sam.pm>

#!perl -w

 

use strict;

package Sam;

 

my $string = "sam";

 

sub Str

{

            print "string = $string\n";

}

 

 

1;

</Sam.pm>

 

<samtest.pl>

#!perl -w

 

use strict;

use lib ".";

use Sam;

 

Sam::Str();

print "Sam::string  = $Sam::string\n"; #can't access $Sam::string here????

 

exit 0;

</samtest.pl>

 

Thanks,
