Hi. I am trying to post form data to a file, but my code does not appear to be working. At present I only want to know that the information is being saved to a file. Here is the code: 
!/usr/bin/perl 

print <<endHtml;
Content-type: text/html\n\n
<html><head><title>"Thank You Form</title</head>
<body>
<h2>Thanks</h2>
endHtml


if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq 'POST'){
  open (FL, 'feedback.cgi','+>>') || die ("Hello");
  read(STDIN,$buffer,$ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
  print FL "$buffer";
  print "<br/>$ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH}";
}
print "</body></html>";

[download]
----------------------------- The line print FL "$buffer"; does not work

I cannot get the information into the file feedback.cgi

Is there a particular location i need to specify?

Please help.
