You didn't include enough code here for me to see what you're doing
wrong, but your variable assignments look fishy. Here's a sample of how
to do it:
package SiteConfig;
%hash = (
'name' => 'value',
'name2' => 'value2',
);
# in startup.pl
use SiteConfig ();
# in your module
my $value2 = $SiteConfig::hash{'name2'};
my $entire_hash = %SiteConfig::hash;
my $hash_ref = \%SiteConfig::hash;
