I have two packages with same name, but located in different directories, each of which has a hash with same name again: 
dir_one/my_package.pm
dir_two/my_package.pm

[download]
Both file include following: 
##! /usr/local/bin/perl
package my_package;

require(Exporter);
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT = qw(
             %my_hash
          );

%my_hash = (
...
);

[download]
The hashes have the same name in each package but their content is different. Now I want to load both packages during runtime, process the hashes in each and so forth. I have done following: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Data::Dumper;

require dir_one::my_package q( %my_hash );
print "%s\n", Dumper(\%my_hash);
require dir_two::my_package q( %my_hash );
print "%s\n", Dumper(\%my_hash);

Perl interpreter tells me that the syntax of "require" is wrong: 
syntax error at ./my_script.pl line 7, near "require dir_one::my_packa
+ge qw( %my_hash )"
Execution of ./my_script.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

Where is my mistake? How can access the hashes in this way during runtime?
