It looks to me as though you have a foreach {} loop that doesn't end properly (well, it is ended by what you seem to think, based on indentation, is the end of the subroutine). Maybe it is just a typo in your posted code ... ?

It seems more likely (based on the code) that you would be repeatedly prompted for attribute value answers ... and since you're not printing a \n on the prompt line, it may look as though you're not really stepping through the attributes ... but still, I would think that your responses would be printed and would result in a carriage return/line feed ...

Can you check your curly braces and make sure the code properly closes out the foreach loop, and post the actual output, please?
