This prints output to my screen. I need it to print all the output ($ct and $i) to a file. Each time I run this I need it to overwrite the file and give me the new results only in the file. Please advise How I get this to output to a file?? 
use File::Find;
  my $ct = 0;

  sub subrout
  {
       if( $_ =~ /\.pl$/)
          {
     
     
         while( $line = <F> ) 
          {
              for $i ($line =~ /data)/gi )
          {
              print "$i\n";
              $ct++;
                  }
               }
        close F;
     }
  }

  find( \&subrout, "/pathOne"  );

  print "\n$ct\n";
