Well thinks to everyones help and some tinkering I got it to create the file and write to it, but now I have having trouble getting it to read from the file 
sub load_game {
    $cfg->read("'$ENV{HOME}/.kenesis'");
    @player = $cfg->param("player");
    @enemy = $cfg->param("enemy");
    $completed_quests = $cfg->param("quest");
    $special_item = $cfg->param("items");
    $class = $cfg->param("class");
    #main_menu();
    print "@player\n";
    print "@enemy\n";
    print "$completed_quests\n";
    print "$special_item\n";
    print "$class\n";
    exit;
}

I get the following error Can't call method "read" on an undefined value at kenesis.pl line 93, <STDIN> line 1.. The thing is all of my variables are defined 
our @player;
our $completed_quests = 0;
our $special_item = "none";
our @enemy;
our $class = "null";
our $cfg;

.
The line that the error is complaining about, line 93, is this line $cfg->read("'$ENV{HOME}/.kenesis'");
