I have some code to open a text file, and based on what is found in the text I am analyzing, place the line of text in a different file.

I am opening the receiving files as "append", but the files keep getting written over, not appended:

 
foreach $subdir(@subdirs) {
     chdir($subdir);
     @files=();
     @files = glob "*.txt";
     foreach $file(@files) {
         open(MYFILE, "<", $file);
         open($ohfivei, '>>905i.txt');
         open($ohthreei, '>>903i.txt');
         open($teni, '>>910i.txt');
         open($ohfiveo, '>>905o.txt');
         open($ohthreeo, '>>903o.txt');
         open($teno, '>>910o.txt');
         while ($line=<MYFILE>) {
          #print "$_\n";
          if($line=~(/$subdir/)) {
              ($undef, $mon, $day, $yr, $hr, $undef, $undef, $pr, $dir
+, $cc, $undef, $undef, $pegs, $undef) = split /,/, $line;
              $dt = ("$mon-$day-$yr $hr:00");
              if ($pr=="905") {
                 if($dir=="1") {
                     print $ohfivei "$dt,$cc,$pegs\n";
                 } elsif($dir=="2") {
                     print $ohfiveo "$dt,$cc,$pegs\n";
                 }
               } elsif ($pr=="903") {
                 if($dir=="1") {
                     print $ohthreei "$dt,$cc,$pegs\n";
                 } elsif($dir=="2") {
                     print $ohthreeo "$dt,$cc,$pegs\n";
                 }
               } elsif ($pr=="910") {
                     if($dir=="1") {
                     print $teni "$dt,$cc,$pegs\n";
                 } elsif($dir=="2") {
                     print $teno "$dt,$cc,$pegs\n";
                 }
               }
          }
         }
          close MYFILE;
          close $ohfivei;
          close $ohthreei;
          close $teni;
          close $ohfiveo;
          close $ohthreeo;
          close $teno;
          unlink "$file";

I have tried using an ALLCAPS filehandle instead of "$fh" format, but I get the same thing. I have also tried double-quoting the ">>", with the same results.

.

I think I may be to the point of "can't see the forest through the trees", so I thought I would ask for help.
