write TYPE_1;

that's the sticky bit, where tom is talking about not writing to a filehandle...

[..]

To expand on tom's comments a bit:
<http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/perlTrick/Format/funk_the_form.plx>

which generates

Type: type1        Gateway: cow         Acct ID: lost_id
Start Date: 2003.12.2    Start Time: 1400
#---------------
Type: type2        Gateway: pig         Acct ID: new
Start Date: 2003.12.2    Start Time: 1400
Disconnect Date: 2003.12.3    Disconnect Time: 1600


one needs to be thinking in terms of


        $~ = 'TYPE_1';
        write;
        $~ = '';        
        print "#---------------\n";

HTH.
