Hey Perl Monks... well, I am asking a three-part question, firstly, the code that I have written in here, I want it criticized (not in an acidic way, I am new to Perl - 2 weeks old - and I handled the files for the first time today, in the past 10 minutes, hehe), I am eager to get your feedback secondly, how can I get to save the same sort of data entered through this program in another type of files like spreadsheet .xls instead of the simple .txt file? I tried saving it in .xls, but could not figure out how to make the fields "specialization, name and age" column headers instead of cell members (I don't want them to repeat everytime I run the code, or jump rows over between an entry and another, like from age to name it jumps a line) thirdly, I want to enforce a certain order in the hash values, Perl returns hash keys not the same ordered they have been entered I am aware, but I want the program to give me prompts in this order name -> specialization ->age, instead of specialization -> name -> age.. 
 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my %info =  (
        'name' => ' ',
        'age'  => ' ',
        'Specialization' => ' ',

        );
open FILE, '>>C:\Documents and Settings\m\Desktop\info.txt' or die $!;

foreach my $key (keys %info){
        print "enter your $key\n";
        print FILE "$key: " ,$info{'$key'}=<>, "\n";
        }
