It is the case. Variables in the required file are in the main:: namespace.

However, variables declared with my do not reside in the main::
namespace. They are lexically scoped variables, and their namespace is
the one belonging to the innermost block enclosing the my declaration;
in this case, presumably the file scope of the main script file.
Declaring with our would put them into main::.
