I am trying to open a file to append and for some reason, it is not working and my commets like "Vijay944" is not written at all. Can someone help?

  open NEW944, ">>$mail_944file" or warn $!;
  print LOG "open NEW944\n";
  while (<NEW944>) {
    print LOG "inside NEW944\n";
    print NEW944 "inside NEW944\n";
    chomp;
    print LOG "Vijay944 - $_\n";
    if ( ! /^darien_inbound/ ) {
      print NEW944 $mail_group,"\n";
      print NEW944 "     \n";
      print NEW944 "                                                  
+                                           \n";
      print NEW944 "Transaction        ISA Ctl#        Date           
+Time        GS Ctl#          Order#                                  
+\n";
      print NEW944 "                                   (YY/MM/DD)     
+                                                                  \n"
