i failed to find information about this the way i need to do it.

i fork my program and i need it to print some information in my open tty1, but failed to do so. I have tried open the /dev/tty1 and print it there but that didn't do the trick. I know im missing something here and i would be thankful of any information where to go from here.

alright my bad i opened it read-only so that's why it didn't work, thanx for your great help anyway. 
open (TTY, ">>/dev/tty1 ) or die "$!\n";
print TTY "Hello there tty1 console\n";
close (TTY);
