Please tell us more about OUTPUT. When I changed the output to be STDOUT (with default $|) it worked just fine. Maybe your file handle does some buffering?

%RegStudentNew = qw( foo 1 bar 2 );
%RegInstructorNew = qw( foo 1 bar 2 );
%RegStudentExisting = qw( foo 1 bar 2 );

print "New Student Registrations\n----------------------\n";
foreach my $Inst (sort keys %RegStudentNew) {
    if ($RegStudentNew{$Inst} ) {
            print  "$Inst\t$RegStudentNew{$Inst}\n";
        }
    }


print  "\nNew Instructor Registrations\n--------------------\n";
foreach my $Inst (sort keys %RegInstructorNew) {
    if ($RegInstructorNew{$Inst} ) {
            print  "$Inst\t$RegInstructorNew{$Inst}\n";
        }
    }


print  "\nExisting Student Registrations\n-----------------\n";
foreach my $Inst (sort keys %RegStudentExisting) {
    if ($RegStudentExisting{$Inst} ) {
            print  "$Inst\t$RegStudentExisting{$Inst}\n";
        }
    }
