Your question is pretty vague and I can't quite follow what you're trying to ask. However, just a standard reponse for "how do I make it printout somewhere else"...if you're running the script AS a CGI then all STDOUT will be sent to the visitors browser...STDOUT means any print statement without a specified filehandle (or STDOUT specified)...if you want to print HTML into a specific FILE based on the function called then you'll want to do something like:
if ($option eq "index") {
 open (INDEX, ">filename.html");
  print INDEX "print the HTML here";
 close INDEX;
}
elsif ($option eq "menu") {
 open (MENU, ">filename2.html");
  print MENU "Print the HTML here";
 close MENU;
}

Hope that clears up your question a little bit...if not please update your question to be a bit more specific.
