I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to ask...

However, if I do understand correctally...

If you have a variable in one namespace (package) and you want to get at it from another, you need to use a format similar to $package::variable

In your case, I believe you need to use %main::hash1 to acess your hash that was declared within x.pl, from the package X.

It is prefixed with main because that is the default namespace/package for any program unless another is declared with a package statement.
