What arthas said, except you may want to change the name of the file if the data is different each time and you want to keep it. Like so:
my $filename = time(); my $doc = ''; open (MYOUT, ">/mypath/$filename.html") or die $!; $doc .= "<p>Mydata....</p>"; $doc .= "<p>Myotherdata....</p>"; print $doc; # This goes to the web browser print MYOUT $doc; # This goes to a files close (MYOUT);
You may also want to add a piece of code to clear out the old files after a specified number of days:
my(@files, $file); opendir(DATADIR, "datadir"); @files = grep(/[0-9].html/,readdir(DATADIR)); closedir(DATADIR); foreach $file (@files) { if (-M "data/$file" > 30) { unlink("data/$file"); } }
