The cgi script is 
#! /usr/bin/perl -w

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

use CGI;
use IO::File;
use XML::Simple;

my %form;
my $cgi = CGI->new;

foreach my $field ($cgi->param()) {
    
    $form{$field} = $cgi->param($field);
}

my $hash_ref = \%form;

my $output = new IO::File(">out.xml");

my $xml = XML::Simple::XMLout($hash_ref, OutputFile => $output);    

$output->close();
