Need form to file	Can't Post

I need a form to file processor that will not add any additional characters to the output of the file and does not append to an existing file. Example below.

FORM FIELDS
<input type="hidden" name="[user info]" value="">
<input type="text" name="user=">

OUTPUT OF FORM WILL SHOW ONLY:
[user info]
user=chad (assuming that the user entered chad)

I need this processor not to include any other information other than what is comming from the form!

Thank you for your help,
Chad Taylor

#!/usr/bin/perl

$filepath="/path/to/output/directory";

use CGI ':cgi';

$user=param('user');

if(-e "$filepath/$user.txt") {
# add a choose new username function
} else {
open(OUT, ">$filepath/$user.txt");
print OUT "[user info]\n";
print OUT "user=$user\n";
close(OUT);
}
# redirect user accordingly.

exit;
