Good points, Ovid. ++! Personally, the only time I use our is in the following:

use 5.6.0;

use strict;
use warnings;

package Foo;

use Exporter;
our @ISA = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT_OK = qw(bar baz);

# Code down here, including bar() and baz()

That way, I get to have the warmfuzzy feeling that I'm not using ickypoo globals, but, instead, using package-scoped globals. @ISA needing to be a global is why I even bother with our.
