Good Morning Monks!
My question is as follow: I am updating lines across many files at once and the following code does just that with two(2) files. However once I add a third(3rd) file it does NOT update. Although the time stamp in the files directory says it was...the data in the file stays the same. The other two(2) files DO get updated. Thanks for the help! 

sub update_lcrecord_now {

my ($lcid,$lcroadname,$lcroadnumber,$locotype,$lcowner,$lcinterrr,$lca
+ssign) = @_;

open my $lcinfile, '<',"$rrconfig::locodata" or die $!;
open my $lcinfile2, '<',"$rrconfig::availlocodata" or die $!;
open my $lcinfile3, '<',"$rrconfig::availlocoyng" or die $!;

open my $lcoutfile, '>', "$rrconfig::locotemp" or die $!;
open my $lcoutfile2, '>', "$rrconfig::availlocotemp" or die $!;
open my $lcoutfile3, '>', "$rrconfig::availynglocotemp" or die $!;


while (<$lcinfile>) {

s/^$lcid\:.*/$lcid\:$lcroadname\:$lcroadnumber\:$locotype\:$lcowner\:$
+lcinterrr\:$lcassign/g;

print $lcoutfile $_;
}

while (<$lcinfile2>) {

s/^$lcid\:.*/$lcid\:$lcroadname\:$lcroadnumber\:$locotype\:$lcowner\:$
+lcinterrr\:$lcassign/g;

print $lcoutfile2 $_;
}

# DOESN'T WORK
while (<$lcinfile3>) {

s/^$lcid\:.*/$lcid\:$lcroadname\:$lcroadnumber\:$locotype\:$lcowner\:$
+lcinterrr\:$lcassign/g;

print $lcoutfile3 $_;
}

close $lcinfile;
close $lcinfile2;
close $lcinfile3; # DOESN'TT WORK

close $lcoutfile;
close $lcoutfile2;
close $lcoutfile3; # DOESN'T WORK

move "$rrconfig::locotemp", "$rrconfig::locodata" or die "move failed:
+ $!";
move "$rrconfig::availlocotemp", "$rrconfig::availlocodata" or die "mo
+ve failed: $!";
move "$rrconfig::availynglocotemp", "$rrconfig::availlocoyng" or die "
+move failed: $!"; # DOESN'T WORK

}
