Exporting is usually a bad idea when dealing with classes, it breaks
encapsulation. You should probably setup a class method for this.
That being said, you can export variables just like you export any other
data type, with Exporter; perldoc Exporter or
http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6/lib/Exporter.html.
