in reply to increasing value every time sub routine called

sub increaseNumber {
    my $value = 001
    return $value + 1
};

Every time you call that sub, you (re)set $value to one.

If you did it this way:

my $value = 1;
sub increaseNumber {
    return ++$value;
};

It would work as you want.

Why post pseudo-code rather than proper Perl?

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?

    I worked it out :)

    
increase();
increase();
increase();

sub increase {
  $n += 1;  # Global variable $n
  print "$n\n";
}
