Hi Brendan ... All the more reason to have taken the picture, and, since you were unsure about how to compensate, a perfect time to bracket. It would have been a good learning experience as well as a flare test for the lens <g>.
Which body were you using and what was the metering mode, if your camera has modes? Generally speaking, any sort of averaging meter is going to be unduly influenced by glare or a very bright light in the metering area. I'd guess that this was a job for spot metering or more experience. With a spot meter you could have measured the point of glare, and then taken a reading of the main subject absent the glare point, and gotten a good idea as to what the proper exposure would have been. Also, a polarizing filter might have helped. HTH, amigo ...
