I have a html table that has 2 radio buttons for every row and a save button. I want to store the value of the radio button when saved and preset the value when the page is revisited.This is the html code I have written

<form action='table_extract.pl' method = 'get'>
        <td><input type='radio' name='signoff' value = 'approve'>Appro
+ve<br>
        <input type='radio' name='signoff' value='review'>Review</td>
    <td><input type='button' type='submit' value='Save'/></td></form>

This is what is in table_extract.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);
use strict;
use Fcntl qw(:flock :seek);

my $outfile = "poll.out";

 if (param('signoff')) {
   open(OUT, ">>$outfile") or die("outfile issue");
   flock(OUT, LOCK_EX);      
   seek(OUT, 0, SEEK_END);   
   print OUT param('signoff'),"\n";
   close(OUT);
}else{die ("param issue");}

This is just first part of the problem. I was not able to find any output in console or in poll.out. Once I read the values, I need to preset the values to the radio buttons that was saved by the user in the previous visit.
