Where is ^^^ this line being declared? Inside subroutine 1 or
globally? If it's inside subroutine 1, then that's where I _think_
you're issue is - the variable's scope (or where it's life exists).
If $i is supposed to be accessed in _both_ subroutines, then declare
it _outside_ of the subroutines (aka globally).

Or did I miss what you were after?
