Your code syntax above is incorrect - the line:

open(FLATFILE, ">> /tmp/flatfile.data" or die $!...);

..should read:

open(FLATFILE, ">> /tmp/flatfile.data") or die $!;

I don't know whether this is just an error you introduced while posting this question otherwise it should have given you an error.

Apart from that I can't see anything wrong with the file writing logic which leads me to a couple of conclusions:

Are you sure the permissions are correct? Chances are when you run it via the form it's not using same user account that it does at the command line - and that account may not have permission to write (which is likely as most "web-user" accounts on servers have very few permissions by default for security reasons).

What platform/OS etc is this running on may I ask?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
