Hashes can be stored in dbm files. Also you can use Data::Dumper to create a string that contains valid Perl syntax to create a give data structure. You can then write that string to a data file. When you need that data again you can read the file back into a string and eval it. See perldoc -f dbmopen, perldoc -f dbmclose, and perldoc Data::Dumper for more info.
