Creating a new file?

[ScoobyDood]

I need to know how to create a new file after the user submits information into a form. I know how to make it write the file, but how do I actually save it as a new web page and add it to my directory? Computers - Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em! Check this out:

open (NEW, "PATH\\TO\\MY\\FOLDER\\new.html&quot || die "$!";
# write , close etc
# u just need to create it in your "web root" ---------------------------------------

someone knowledge ends where

Does "web root" mean I can't have it in another folder? Computers - Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em! Check this out:

A good way to do this is to use the Apache Environtment variable:
$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}
Like this:

open(FILE, ">$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/some_bin/file_name.txt"
