What you want is this:
my $dict = NSDictionary->alloc->init;
$dict->writeToFile_Atomically("/tmp/foo", 1);
I've updated the "Collections" page on the site to illustrate these methods. For some reason that page was MIA when I looked; I wrote it months ago, and I would have sworn that I uploaded it. At any rate, it and the MVC page are both there now.
I did find "CBPerlHash" and "CBPerlArray" classes in the class browser, and they have comments saying you can get an objc object for perl a named perl hash/array, but I can't get them to work from the perl side of things.Those classes are not yet implemented.
They're intended to provide access to a Perl hash/array, using the NSDictionary/NSArray interface. They're mainly there for ObjC programmers, but if you wanted to use Cocoa methods to work with a Perl hash or array from Perl, I suppose that would work too.
