Firstly you will need to have all of that in a BEGIN block in order for @EXPORT_OK to have the values in it when import is called by the use gen_var.

Also I would eschew the second eval and simply do something likeL

BEGIN
{
   foreach my $variable (@variables) {
       eval "our \$$variable = $counter; push    \@exported_symbols, \
+$$variable";
   $counter++;
   push @EXPORT_OK, "\$$variable";
   }
}

I do something similar in Sys::Utmp for what it's worth. Actually it's worse because there I export the symbols into one module that then exports them to the callers namespace :-O

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
