You claim a "working script", but I see no evidence of that. I see no use of sub{} in your code. Pass the subroutine a list of values. These can be interpreted by subroutine as simple list or a hash (key,value) pairs. Both ways are shown below. There are ways to pass references to hashes or references to arrays, but that appears to be beyond the scope of what is required here. 
#!usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my %hash = ( 'NAME'   => 'name222',
             'COLOR'  => 'yellow',
             'SIZE'   => 'big',
            );

Some_subroutine(%hash);

sub Some_subroutine
{
  my @list = @_;
  print "This shows that %hash is just a list of key,value pairs\n";
  print "  when passed like sub(%hash)\n";
  print "list=@list\n\n";
  
  my %hash = @_;
  print "This shows that assigning default list (@_) \n";
  print "  to %hash results in hash (key,value) assignments\n\n";
 
  foreach my $key (keys %hash)
  {
     print "key $key \tvalue is $hash{$key}\n";  
  }
}

__END__
PRINTS:

This shows that %hash is just a list of key,value pairs
  when passed like sub(%hash)
list=SIZE big COLOR yellow NAME name222

This shows that assigning default list (SIZE big COLOR yellow NAME nam
+e222) 
  to %hash results in hash (key,value) assignments

key COLOR     value is yellow
key SIZE     value is big
key NAME     value is name222
