I shortened your .pm file to look like this (just as a test case):

%Verbs = (a=>1, b=>2);
[download]

Then your main script would look like:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my %Verbs = do 'cmd_verbs_test.pm';
print Dumper(\%Verbs);

__END__

$VAR1 = {
          'a' => 1,
          'b' => 2
        };
[download]
