Hi Monks, I am stuck in building a CGI program, which read/write to a file. I am able to do the tasks separately. Here is how I am writing to the file. 
# now write to the file

open(OUT, ">/u001/data/slatrk/data/comments.dat");
foreach my $p (param()) {
   print OUT param($p) . "\n";
}
print OUT "\n";
close(OUT);

And this is how I am reading from the file.(Code snippet) 
# Extraction Process
 sub first_process {
    $data_dir="/u001/data/slatrk/data";
    open(F1,"<$data_dir/comment_job.config") || die "Cannot open file1
+:$!\n";
    open(F2,"<$data_dir/comments.dat") || die "Cannot open file2:$!\n"
+;
    while(<F1>){
      chomp;
      chomp(my $f2=<F2>);
      push (@comment, $_ . "|" . $f2 . "\n");
    }
    }

        push(@rows,$q->th(['APPLICATION', 'COMMENT']));
        &first_process;

        foreach (@comment) { #array starts here
        ($jobname, $comment)= split /\|/;
        push(@rows,$q->td([$jobname, '<textarea>'.$comment.'</textarea
+>']));
        }#array ends here

print qq {<div id='container'>};
    print $q->table(
        {-cellpadding => 3},
        Tr(\@rows)
    );

Now I want to combine the two methods and I can write the data to the data using param. It should be in a loop so that i don't have to give textarea names separately. Can someone help me in this regard.
