IIRC, it's the fact that the lexical scoping happens at run time -- the symbolic ref happens at compile time, which happens before run time -- so I can't access the variable. The use vars things works -- correct, since the globals aren't lexically scoped. All that said, I wish I could do something similar to /ee -- but something tells me it might not work.
