Can you access quest::setglobal from a plugin?

[revloc02c]

So I've been working on plugins and discovered that I can't access $qglobals{variable_name_here} from inside the plugin. Am I correct? Is there a work around?

So I passed $qglobals{variable_name_here} into the plugin to a var just called $qglobals and that was working until I wanted to set/save a value. I found

quest::setglobal("variable_name_here", 1, 5, "F");

doesn't work. Am I correct? Is there a work around?

Just a couple more points, it was all working fine in a regular .pl file in the "quests" folder (so I got the $qglobal created in the db just fine, and the flag in the "npc_types" table set already too), just when I tried to get it in a plugin where I am running into trouble.
