declaring a zero size hash

[Dukelow, Don]

I'm trying to declare a zero size hash so a sub function can populate it and
be see by all other sub's.

my %loginHash();

But the "use strict" doesn't like it.  All examples of making a hash
structure is hard coded in the program or is made reading from a file.  When
I try to run the script all I get is syntax error near "%loginHash("
What am I missing?
