First the helpful bit:

If you're referring to Storable, then \%table is the reference to the hash structure you're saving, 'file' is the name of the file you want the data stored to.

Now the unhelpful bit:

Really, all files are utimately binary files, so there's little point in asking for help converting something into a binary file unless you describe what kind of binary file you may be interested in. The type you'll be interested in depends on what you're going to do with it.

Since you don't provide any information describing where you want to go, I can't suggest a path to get there.
