I'm not sure I'm following you correctly, but it sounds like you're
just looking for symbols in the wrong package. If the symbols exist in
package 'Foo', then they're not going to exist in package 'Foo::Bar'
unless you put them there somehow.
Does accessing a constant as Foo::ConstantName work? If so, then it's
probably what I said above.
You'll need to use Exporter or a manual
package Foo::Bar;
BEGIN { *ConstantName = *Foo::ConstantName; }
or some other equivalent.
