So you're running the program in CGI context? What does the error_log of the web server tell you?
Some hints about your code:
- use strict and warnings; they support you with your development
- use the CGI module to obtain the given parameters.
- print a valid html header and a short message to STDOUT at the end of the script to prevent "internal server error", because no data was sent.
untested example
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI;
my $lost_file = "/FULL/path/to/lost.txt";
my $cgi = CGI->new;
open LOST, '>>', $lostfile or die "open(>>) $lostfile failed: $!\n";
for my $param ( $cgi->param ) {
print LOST "$param ", $cgi->param($param), "+";
}
print LOST "\n";
print $cgi->header('text/plain'),
"job is done.\n";
updates
- fixed typo in code: s/->new/->param/ in head of for-loop

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
