Is the Readonly module forcing the variables into the global space? Surely that would be something terrible.

No. perldoc -f our 'our' is not 'my'

    Okay it's starting to make sense. The following does what I would expect: 
    use Readonly;

sub testvalue {

  Readonly my %hash => {h =>1};
  return \%hash;
}


my $h = testvalue();
$h->{h} = 2;
