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

But how do I do this? Do I open () them? Do I dereference them? I've
been digging through the camel book [and writing test scripts] without
success. Any pointers or suggestions welcome.

Use the *foo{thing} syntax, where thing is IO, SCALAR, ARRAY, HASH, FORMAT, and so on. Info's in the perl docs, in perldata.
