So, I have a package scoped hash %id 
# identity.pm

package id;

use strict;
use warning;
use Exporter;

our @ISA = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT = qw (%id);


our $id = ( Name => "Sally", Age => "23");

);

[download]
and I have another perl script that access $id and updates it... 
# file1.pl

use id;
use strict;
use warning;

$id{Name} = "Jim";
$id{Age} = 16;

[download]
Now I have another script that runs after the previous script (file1.pl). The problem is when I access %id in this script (file2.pl), I want the updated %id values (Jim, 16), but I'm getting the original values ("sally", 23). How would I share package values across files and have updates reflected during each access? Thanks!
