Then how could I possibly use the value of $path? Must I put everything into the import subroutine? If so, then I have another question: 
sub import {
my $self = shift;
my %args = @_;
$path = $args{path};
open(FILEREAD, "$path") or die "Cannot open $path for reading: $!\n";
read FILEREAD, $string, -s FILEREAD; close FILEREAD;
@matches = $string =~ /\s.*\s.*\@.*\s/g;
foreach (@matches) {
if (/\s(.*)\s(.*\@.*)\s/) { $users{$1} = $2 }
}

From the above code, how could I export the users hash? I put @EXPORT = qw(%users); near the top of my code but it didn't work. I then tried $Bio->export_to_level(1 @_) but that didn't work either.
