in thread number of keys and values in a hash

well, of course you will need to create and fill a hash first with the desired part of your data. The code tells you exactly what you have: my %nums =( "$number", $info) is a hash with one element only, a single pair key-value. You need to iterate between all keys and all values

    Some extra notes about your code:

    while (my ($keys, $values) = each %nums) {

    is probably a little more readable than

    while ((my $keys, my $values) = each (%nums)) {

    and you could prefer also to use

    open my $file, 'formal.xml'; instead: my $file;open $file, 'formal.xml');

    and print "num: $number\n"; instead: print( "num: $number\n" );
