Like other monks I don't get exactly what you want to do. But if *all* you want to do is dump the data from your form into a file then you could do worse than use Data::Dumper to put the whole CGI object, containing everything you got from the form, into a text file. This would do it:

use Data::Dumper;
my $filename = time;    # i.e. a time-stamped filename
$filename .= '.txt';
open F, ">/your/chose/path/$filename";
print F Dumper($q);

SAVING THE STATE OF THE SCRIPT TO A FILE:
$query->save(FILEHANDLE); This will write the current state of the form to the provided filehandle. You can read it back in by providing a filehandle to the new() method. Note that the filehandle can be a file, a pipe, or whatever!

perl -e "$q=$_;map({chr unpack qq;H*;,$_}split(q;;,q*H*));print;$q/$q;"
