Maybe I'm missing something here, but can't you just use
use strict;
use vars qw(%config %session);
or better yet, fully qualify your variables
%MyApp::Framework::config;
%MyApp::Framework::session;
The mod_perl guide has excellent sections on this:
http://perl.apache.org/guide/perl.html#Using_Global_Variables_and_Shari
http://perl.apache.org/guide/performance.html#Global_vs_Fully_Qualified_Varia
Also, there are a couple of useful modules on CPAN for inheriting class
data, not sure if they will apply in your case:
http://cpan2.org/Asset/display?dist=Class-Data-Inheritable
http://cpan2.org/Asset/display?dist=foundation
> Where I'm getting hosed is that %config and %session have data
> I need visible to the Text::Template objects themselves. I've
> RTFM'ed until my eyes are pink, and I see no options short of
> copying variables wholesale into another Package, but then I
> still can't get at them and "use strict" can I?
