Your question is a little unclear to me. When something isn't clear to me, I start debugging and debug until it is clear. What I tried here was to pass the params to the filehandle. It'll save the data without putting on the disk. You need to binmode the filehandle in order for it to work; also, you need to call the new method twice. Carp and CGI::Carp::DebugScreen are required. 

!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use Carp;
use CGI qw(param);
use CGI::Carp::DebugScreen;

open( OUT, '>>/root/Desktop/zip.out' );

CGI::Carp::DebugScreen->debug(1);

my $q = CGI->new;

binmode OUT, ':raw';
my $name = $q->param('content_of_zip') || "Content";
my $out  = $q->param('output')         || "Binary";
$q->save(OUT);
close OUT;

# now double-check to see if it was saved.

open( IN, '/root/Desktop/zip.out' );
while ( not eof IN ) {
    $q = CGI->new;
    print $name, "\n", $out, "\n";
    exit 0;
}
close IN;
