Hi Garrett, Not shure if this is where you are looking for, but here is some simple info on how to write data to a file. If it is not sufficient you'll have to wait for the real ones to wake up :) $file = "/path/to/file"; open(F, "> $file"); print F "What you want to store in your file, can also be a $variable"; close(F); ## ">" says create new or overwrite, ">>" says append or create new.
