Hello, I have a file that has a hash stored in it. I am trying to read that hash as it is using eval but I am getting following error: Global symbol "%hash1" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my %hash1"?) at tiny.pl line (print Dumper(\%hash1);) 14. Execution of tiny.pl aborted due to compilation errors. Please help me understand the issue here, thank you

 
#file.pl : my %hash1 = (hello => 1,
          hi =>2   );

#tiny.pl
#!/home/utils/perl5/perlbrew/perls/5.24.2-021/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Path::Tiny qw( path );
use Data::Dumper; 
 
my $file = 'file.pl';

open(my $fh, '<', $file) or die "Could not open file $file";
eval($fh);
close $fh;

print Dumper(\%hash1);
