Yes.  Symbols like subs and globals go into the current package. 
(Packages have no relation to file names, except that "use My::Foo" will
try to guess a file name based on what you give it.)  You've declared
the same package in both places, so one is overwriting the other.

The link that Malcolm gave provides a good description of what happens
to your script when you run it under Registry.
