It's your code, so you can do whatever you want to do. But how is putting 3 things in a hash (so you have four things) more organized than 3 things in a stash (which is also a hash)? And if you want to actually export your hash, you need to stuff the hash inside your stash (ending with with five things). It's like the difference of three drawers in a cupboard vs three drawers in a cabinet in a cupboard.

But the main problem I have is the same problem I have with neither using strict, nor warnings. 

use strict;
use warnings;
my $chapters = {
   one => 'Chapter 1: AAA',
   two => 'Chapter 2: BBB',
   three => 'Chapter 3: CCC',
};
say "We start with $chapters->{noe}";   # Compiler neither gives an er
+ror, nor a warning.

vs 
package chapters;
our $one = 'Chapter 1: AAA';
our $two = 'Chapter 2: BBB';
our $three = 'Chapter 3: CCC';
package main;
use strict;
use warnings;
say "We start with $chapters::noe";  # Compile time error.

You're free to not use strict or warnings, but I think they are sane things to use. And it doesn't make sense to put a "use strict;" in your code, and then use code that won't be checked by strict.
