I'm writing a permanant record program for my church and I first did it in command line and the File I/O worked fine, but when I put the concepts I used in that program into a GUI it didn't work part of the program is 
sub enter_father {
  $student = $name_ent -> get;
  open studentfile, ">>", $student;
  $file_array[6] = $father_ent;
  print studentfile ($file_array[6]);
  close studentfile;
}

although there are more entris and all the end file ends up having content like this, 
SampleNameTk::Entry=HASH(0x84a8644)Tk::Entry=HASH(0x84a8a4c)Tk::En
try=HASH(0x84a8bcc)Tk::Entry=HASH(0x84a8dc4)Tk::Entry=HASH(0x84a

The name shows up, but nothing else
