You will be able to access the main program's %hash1 variable directly
from a package if it is not declared with my
(whose visibility would be limited to the block (or file if it's
not in an explict block) that it is
declared in).
You will need to explictly specify the package of the
variable with like %::hash1 or %main::hash1 (and, if
you are using strict as you should be,
you must decalre %hash1 in the main program with our or
use vars.)
However, this is probably not good design. It would probably
be best if you made your module not be dependent
on what variables the main program is using. That is,
you would instead pass the relevant hash to the module's
functions (ideally as a reference.)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
