in reply to Can I from within a module access variables from the calling program?
G'day HJO,
"Yes, but it is commonly considered bad practice. You can easily access global variables of the main program: $main::foo gives access to $foo in the main program"

I don't see how this ties in with your question but what you claim obviously doesn't work, clearly does:
$ perl -le '$foo = "whatever"; print $main::foo;' whatever
