in thread Can I from within a module access variables from the calling program?

I may be missing the point you're making but HJO's statement referred to global variables. Other examples with variables explicitly declared as global:

$ perl -le 'local $foo = "whatever"; print $main::foo;' whatever
$ perl -le 'our $foo = "whatever"; print $main::foo;' whatever
