So The boss asked me to "make a fast forms based log book " And I set about the task using CGI.pm, and I've hit a , well starnge error, I open and refill the form with 
open SAVE,"</tmp/report.sav";
my $page=new CGI \*SAVE  ;
close(SAVE);

[download]
do what I have to , and write a save out at the end using 
open SAVE,">/tmp/report.sav";
$page->save(\*SAVE);
close(SAVE);

[download]
This will not work, and I dont know why. However each part will work, If I comment out the save step at the end, the read works, like wise if i use 
 
my $page= new CGI ;

[download]
the save function works, Plus , I dont get ANY errors.
How should I do this to make it work??
Thanks
Bill
