You should create a module for that: define a global variable and put a
subroutine that returns a reference to it. Note that you should probably use
YAML or JSON or perhaps JSYNC, for this configuration file if you are going to
use a module, because outputting Perl code from a larger program is error
prone, and people may be tempted to edit this code by hand.
