roboticus thanks for explaining. That was helpful.
As you can see from my response below all im trying to do is use the command "store" on hash table that is stored in file.
what is the proper way to do this? Or how can I store my Dumper output in a variable properly.
tried this but didn't work where is my problem ? 

#CODE1
$data = $xml->XMLin("output.xml");
my $hash_table = Dumper($data);

store \%hash_table, 'binary_hash.txt';

#CODE2
$data = $xml->XMLin("output.xml");
print MYFILE Dumper($data);

store MYFILE, 'binary_hash.txt';
