I found this out the hard way
the permissions on the data file need to be set at least to 766 to allow writing and reading
here is a sample code that I was working on simular...
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
$data = new CGI;
$email = $data->param('email');
$datafile ="/full_path/data2.txt";
open (FORUM, "<$datafile");
@lines = <FORUM>;
close (FORUM);
$email="eww";
open (FORUM, ">$datafile");
print FORUM ("EMAIL");
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "$email";

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
