I have a CGI that I would like to have write to a config file on two separate servers. I am using the following: 
# Open local file for appending
open(OUT,">> $config1) || $Error( "Can't open $config1" );
print OUT "$id|$datestamp|$description\n";
close (OUT);
# Open remote file for appending
open(OUT,">> $config2) || $Error( "Can't open $config2" );
print OUT "$id|$datestamp|$description\n";
close (OUT);

[download]

Where $config1 = "/home/path/to/config1.txt"
and
$config2 = "http://www.differentdomain.com/path/to/confi2.txt"

I get the error:

"Can't open http://www.differentdomain.com/path/to/confi2.txt"

Is there a way to access a file on a remote server for writing?
