The first thing you are doing wrong is not giving us enough information.
A small, self contained example (SSCE), that we can cut and paste and
run, along with some idea of what is happening and how that differs from
what you expected/wanted, is invaluable in helping us to help you.
I can see a couple of potential problems with what you have posted. The
issue of naming and locating your module has been addressed by others.
In addition, the variables in your module will not be visible to the
code that "uses" it, unless you fully qualify them, e.g.
$Dell::Config::Template. Another way to make them visible is to export
them, see 'perldoc Exporter'. For example, Dell/Config.pm could look
like this:
use strict;
use warnings;
package Dell::Config;
use base "Exporter";
our @EXPORT = qw{$Template $ChartImageName $bubbleName $imageType};
our $Template = qq(Dell_Deployment_Optimization_Report.pdf);
our $ChartImageName = "DellDOChart";
our $bubbleName = "Bubble";
our $imageType =".png";
1;
