In my script, I am trying to take the user's input, use CGI.pm to sort out the data, then write that data to a file, with other data. Here is my script. 
#!usr/bin/perl

#Start the CGI!
use CGI;

#Declare a new page for the information
my $Page = new CGI;

#Put the data from the form into variables
my $Name = $Page->param(Name);
my $E_mail = $Page->param(E-mail);
my $Comment = $Page->param(Comment);

#A little bit of environment variables
my $Browser = $ENV{"HTTP_USER_AGENT"};

#Open the file where the information will go.
open(GUEST, '>>../GuestBook/GuestBook.txt') or die "The file could not
+ be opened.";

#Open up the file for the counter to... "count" the people
open(COUNT, '../Counter/counter.txt') or die "The File could not be op
+ened.";
#Save the contents to a variable
$Number = <COUNT>;

print COUNT $Number++;

#Close it up
close(COUNT);

#Print all of the information, with the proper
#HTML, to the file.
print GUEST <<GuestStuff;
      <table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0">
       <tr width="200">
        <td>
         <p style="size: 30px;">Otaku \#$Number.</p>
        </td>
       </tr>
       
       <tr>
        <td class="Cell">
         <p style="color: white;">Name: $Name</p>
        </td>
       </tr>

       <tr>
        <td class="Cell">
         <p style="color: white;">E-mail: $E_mail</p>
        </td>
       </tr>

       <tr>
        <td class="Cell">
         <p style="color: white;">Comment: $Comment</p>
        </td>
       </tr>
 
       <tr>
        <td clas="Cell">
         <p style="color: white;">Your Browser type: $Browser</p>
        </td>
       </tr>
      </table>

#Print the HTML MIME header from CGI.
print $Page->header;

#Print to the screen

As you can see, the information is taken from the module, placed into variables, then is placed amongst the HTML, and written to a file. But I can't seem to get it to work.
