I want to make use of a hash variable inside of a separate package file but it doesn't seem to really access the variable. It does work if I include the package in the same file (and change 'my' to 'our'). I've been searching for the answer for several hours now, and I really don't get it 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
require 'Config.pm';

print "Hash: ",%Config::amazon_config,"\n";
print "Host: ",$Config::amazon_config{'host'},"\n";
print "Name: ",$Config::amazon_config{name},"\n";

[download]
And the Config.pm file 
package Config;
my %amazon_config = (
        'name' => 'amazon',
        'host' => 'localhost',
        'user' => 'amazon',
        'pass' => 'somepass',
        'upload_path' => '/',
        'file_types' => [ qw( jpg mobi ) ],
        );
1;

[download]
When run it returns: 

Hash: 
Use of uninitialized value in print at Objects.pl line 15.
Host: 
Use of uninitialized value in print at Objects.pl line 16.
Name:
