Re^2: Modifying/Accessing hash in separate script

If I do this approach will it allow the read_config_files subroutine to modify the hash and the changes will be reflected across all other scripts that access the hash?

Yes, it should work (but why don't you test it?). Having said that, having a global hash shared among different program files is usually rather poor design. I can't say for sure, because we don't have enough details about what you are doing, but maybe you should share functions accessing to this hash (`use`ing a module), or perhaps think about an OO-implementation.
