no, it will work allright if you just change the   my $var = "blah";   to   our $var = "blah";   in   inc.conf.

    #!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use "inc.conf";

our $var;
print $var , "\n";

exit;

    And the contents of inc.conf... 
    #!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

our $var = "blah";

      no, as davidj said, ignore his post. change 'my' to 'our' and you're done. require is just fine.
      for more info read Fletch's post and see perlfunc for require and use.

      -   use "inc.conf";
      +   require "inc.conf";

      Your first try wasn't that bad.
