Hello perlmonks

I'm hoping to make my first properly-marked post here. I'm trying to get basic things done in perl. I've written a script that separates comments from scriptures, but I don't seem to have figured out how to print it:

#!/usr/bin/perl 
# perl gg2.pl
 
use warnings;
use strict;


my $filename3 = 'ot5.txt';
open(my $hh, '<', $filename3) or 
  die "cannot open $filename3 for reading: $!";

# open output file
my $filename2 = 'outfile16.txt';
open(my $gh, '>', $filename2) or 
  die "cannot open $filename2 for writing: $!";

# open output file
my $filename4 = 'outfile43.txt';
open(my $hg, '>', $filename4) or 
  die "cannot open $filename4 for writing: $!";

my %Scripts;
my %comments;
      

local $/="";

while ( <$hh> ) 
{
    my @s = split /\s+/, $_;
    my $verse = $s[0];
    my $counter = 0;
    
    if ($s[0] =~ m/^\d/)
    {
        my $verse = $s[0];
        my $script = join(' ', @s[1..$#s]);
        $Scripts{$verse} = $script;
        print $gh $_;
        
    }
    else
    {
       $counter++;
       my $comment = join(' ', @s);
       $comments{$counter} = $comment;
       print $hg $_;
    }
 
}

foreach $verse (sort keys %Scripts)
{
    print "$verse => $Scripts($verse)\n";
}
        

# close input and output files

close($hh) or die("Error closing $filename3: $!");
close($gh) or die("Error closing $filename2: $!");
close($hg) or die("Error closing $filename4: $!");

Perl.exe complains with the following: C:\MinGW\source>perl gg2.pl Global symbol "$verse" requires explicit package name at gg2.pl line 52. Global symbol "$verse" requires explicit package name at gg2.pl line 54. Global symbol "$Scripts" requires explicit package name at gg2.pl line 54.
