Perhaps you should learn how to open/close/write-to a file, and do a few beginner's tutorial on Perl monks.

use strict;
use IO::File;

my $var1='test';
my $var2='test2';

my $f = new IO::File "$var1/$var2/blah.conf","w" or die "Can't create 
+blah";
print $f <<FRED
  blah blah
  ...
FRED
;

Update: mis-interpreted the <<FRED bit. Ouch.

You code has - 
open HANDLE, ">$HANDLE" or die;
$HANDLE="$var1/$var2/blah.conf";

You are trying to open a file before you assign the file name? That's probably why your script didn't work in the first place.

I see you have fixed that problem in your original post.
