in reply to Re^3: number of keys and values in a hash
in thread number of keys and values in a hash

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" );
