in thread Config file recommendations?

This is what I've been trying, but it doesn't quite seem to work:

use Exporter;
our @ISA = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT = qw(%config);
%config = (
foo => bar,
baz => bat
);

[download]

But I would still get the error Global symbol "%config" requires explicit package name. The code to use my config file was:

use config;

    Main file: 

    use strict;
use warnings;
use lib '.';

use MyConfig;
use Data::Dumper;

print Dumper \%config;

    [download]

    MyConfig.pm: 

    package MyConfig;

use strict;
use warnings;

use Exporter;
our @ISA = qw(Exporter);

our %config;
our @EXPORT = qw(%config);

%config = (
           foo => 'bar',
           baz => 'bat',
       );

1;

    [download]

    And the output: 

    $VAR1 = {
          'baz' => 'bat',
          'foo' => 'bar'
        };
