FAQ 7.17 How can I access a dynamic variable while a similarly named 
lexical is in scope?

There is a third way which isn't mentioned in the FAQ. It bypasses the
need for a package name, and simply looks in the current symbol table. 
It's also slightly less confusing than redeclaring the 'our' variable.

             print "lexical is $var\n";
             print "global  is ${*var}\n";
                    # grab the scalar entry from the 'var' typeglob
