Hello MONKS

I am consuming XML service using LWP. And I am parsing XML using XML::Simple. And I have to assign parsed variables to string. When I view variables in browser it shows normal.I am developing KOHA and it uses Template toolkit.

But when I add variables values to database (I am using mysql) it inserted as a HASH. How can I solve this?

My code is 
        my $rfid= $input->param('rfid'); 
        my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
        my $response = $ua->get("https:/mywebpage.com/studentservice/s
+ervice.asmx/give_to_koha_byStudentCard?cardNR=$rfid");
        my $xml=$response->content;

        # parse
        my $xs = new XML::Simple(keeproot =>0,searchpath => ".",forcea
+rray => 1,);
        my $ref = $xs->XMLin($xml);
        my $firstname=${$ref->{firstname}}[0];
        my $lastname=${$ref->{lastname}}[0];
        my $sisiid=${$ref->{sisiid}}[0];
        my $school=${$ref->{school}}[0];
        my $program=${$ref->{program}}[0];
        my $registerNr=${$ref->{registerNr}}[0];
        my $userStatus=${$ref->{userStatus}}[0];
        my $usertype=${$ref->{usertype}}[0];
        my $photo=${$ref->{photo}}[0];
        my $branch=${$ref->{abbrevm}}[0];
        my $op= $input->param('op');

        # save when op= "save"
        my %newdata;
        if($op eq "save"){
        %newdata =("cardnumber"=>"$rfid",
                 "surname"=>"$lastname",
                 "firstname"=>"$firstname",
                 "initials"=>"$registerNr",
                 "address"=>"$program",
                 "userid"=>"$sisiid",
                 "categorycode"=>'ST',
                 "branchcode"=>'EZS',
                 "password"=>'aaaaaaa'
         );

        my $borrowernumber=&AddMember(%newdata);

The main problem is assign parsed xml real value to variable.Not a HASH. Thank you.
