Maybe you want to start learning about references? See perlreftut, References Quick Reference.

    Do I presume that $VAR1 was created by the Dumper module and can't be used in my program?

      Data::Dumper just outputs a string representation of your data. As you pass in an unnamed reference, Data::Dumper makes up a name. That name is $VAR1.

      You will have to learn about references, and start with the reference you also pass to Data::Dumper, instead of $VAR1.
