Re: html output to a file

... the output won't go to the file.

Does anything go to the file? I'm guessing you need to take out the header line (since that prints the Content-Type needed by the HTTP protocol) and include the start_html line (since that includes the <title> tag (and other things) needed by the HTML standard. Commenting them both out is going to give you some malformed HTML.

Kyle's point re `header` is worth noting, as the OP seems to reflect the view that the content sent by `header`, needs to be part of a valid .html file. It does NOT. Ultimately, in a cgi/server/browser context, it tells the browser how to render the rest of what's sent; it is NOT part of a basic .html file which begins with the content sent by `start_html`. Since OP is merely outputting to a file, it's not necessary. (The notes from Corion and others may make this unimportant at the moment, but at some time, a misunderstanding could jump up and bite.)
