Isn't what you need is a singleton object to store your values? Something that you'll call like this : 
use MyModules::Config;

# here's the singleton magic:
# "new" recalls the existing instance if any.
my $conf=Config->new();

from each script. And the Config package would look like this :
package Config;

# this is the package variable to store
# the used instance
my $single;

# modules
use Carp;

sub new {
    # usual stuff here...
    my $proto = shift;
    
    # create a new object if no instance currently active
    unless ($single) {
        $single = {} ;

        # where to store data
        $single->{options} = {};
    }
    
    bless($single);
    return $single;
}

# here is the method to parse the conf. file
# and load the data in the Config object
sub parseconffile {

    my $config = shift;
       # here put something useful...

}

# end
1;

This way, all your modules can share the same config without passing any parameter around : just call my $conf=Config->new() from each module, the first to call it will load the configuration data, the others will simply share that instance.
