in reply to 'do' read file

do will not alter lexical ('my') variables in the outer scope. To achieve this you have to use a package variable, so delare it using our.

However, using a file to set your variables can be dangerous, think carefully if you really need to do that. Why not put the keys/values into a file, read it in the normal way, and construct the hash yourself?

    I use 'use vars qw( %cfg );', it can print. and 'our' is also ok. 'vars NOTE: For variables in the current package, the functionality provided by this pragma has been superseded by our declarations, available in Perl v5.6.0 or later'
