Subject: Sending HTML form information to a text file or visitor_log

The Subject says it all really. I am trying to have the information send
from a simple html form to a text file or visitor_log.
This is my Code:

#!/media/Apache/ruby/bin/ruby
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby

require "cgi"

cgi = CGI.new()
fn = cgi.params['forename']
sn = cgi.params['surname']
em = cgi.params['email']
age = cgi.params['age']
gender = cgi.params['gender']
puts cgi.header("text/html")

puts "<html>"
puts "<head>"
puts "<title>Input request</title>"
puts "<body>"
puts "<p>Your name is #{fn} + #{sn}</p>"
puts "<p>Your general information:<br />"
puts "Age: #{age}<br/>"
puts "Gender: #{gender}<br />"
puts "Email Address: #{em}</p>"
puts "</body>"
puts "</html>"

open('media/Apache/apache2/logs/visitor_log', 'a') { |f|
f.puts forename
f.puts surname
f.puts email
f.puts age
f.puts gender
}

The information is displayed but then nothing actually happens within
the visitor_log file. The piece of code im using was originally found
here:http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/202526

And this is from my error log:
[Wed Jan 09 19:13:33 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1]
/media/Apache/apache2/cgi-bin/hello1.cgi:26:in `initialize': No such

Thanks
