Hi

I have a project where I am trying to dump all the variable names and
values in a given package namespace. I can get all the variable names
OK, it's just getting the values from those names that I am not able to
do.

I have some code like this:
foreach $key ( keys %main::Package:: ) {
  $val = $WW::Package::{$key};
  print "$key\t$val\n";
}

but all I get is typeglobs.

Typeglobs are all that's in symbol tables. You need to look in the globs if you want to get values.
