Thanks, Zaxo!

I tried to do what you advised but I seem to be missing something. I've pasted the code here and hope you can point out to me where I have gone wrong:

# hash.lib
# in the library

sub gethash {
  my $hash_ref;
  open(FILE, "data.txt") || die "Can't open data - $!\n";
  # dick:98
  # robert:76
  # mary:68
  chomp(my @lines = <FILE>);
  close(FILE);
  foreach (@lines) {
    my ($name,$score) = split /:/, $_;
      $hash_ref->{ 'name' } = $name;
      $hash_ref->{ 'score' } = $score;
  }
  return( $hash_ref );
}

# script1.pl
# some code in another script

eval {
  ($0 =~ m,(.*)/[^/]+,) && unshift (@INC, "$1");    
  require 5.001;                
  require "hash.lib"; 
};

my $key_value = gethash();

# I want to be able to print the values here....

I hope you can enlighten me :)
