Question on file I/O

I hope someone can explain this to me..... 

while($index < $#logme){
 print "%%%% $index $logme[$index] %%%% ";
 print "################## IN THE LOOP ##########";
 print OUTFILE2 $logme[$index];
 print 0UTFILE2 "*********IN_THE_LOOP********";
 $index++;
 }
print OUTFILE2 " OUTFILE2_IS_GOOD ";

Facts:

  1. My data from the form is in @logme
  2. $#logme=46
  3. $index is initialized to zero.
  4. The loop is iterating (error checking using the STDOUT print).
  5. OUTFILE2 does append to my log, just not within the loop.
Problems:
My name=value pairs, which are in @logme, are not being sent to my log. I have debugged different solns for a while now and no matter what approach I try I always get to the same problem. The debug print OUTFILE2 "OUTFILE2_IS_GOOD" prints fine. Ive tried initializing a Filehandle within the loop but that didn't work either...

help!!!
