Thanks for the references.Those would definitely help at some point or other. Now, I am able to do the required task with the following code

open(ARTICLE,">>indexer.txt") or die "Cannot open indexer.txt";
    my $data=$nntp->article(99);
    print ARTICLE @$data;
    #print ARTICLE "Completed Successfully";
    close(ARTICLE);

However, I want to know if there is a better way to do it using the file handle that the article() function returns. As for data dumper, it does the task as well, but the output is in pretty untidy format. And the problem I am facing is that I do not know how to use tied filehandles. Any code snippet would be highly appreciated
