is it possible to declare a variable that can persist its value until the end of program. Actually i have a program which consist a lots of subroutine , i think u can understand my problem through this example very well

 my ($i , $j);
$i = 1;
$j = $i - 1;
 my abc{};
my bca{
my $records_to_be_feched = $end - (20 * $i) - ($start - (20 * ($j)));
     $i = $i+1;
     $j = $j+1;
}

firstly, variable i will go with value 1.and after that that it will increment with value 1 . but when it will go out of subroutine its value will be 1 according to global declaration. so can it be possible that first time i will be one and after that it increments by 1 and become 2...
