I have a "check for bad" ping script here that works but it cuts off the last bad IP address when it emails me. The file (called myfil in the script) that I am writing the bad ping addresses shows all the IP addresses.

For example the 4 IP addresses below do not ping and my output file shows:
888.333.333.33
156.343.333.99
888.323.222.223
888.222.222.111

BUT my email message excludes the last bad IP address (in this case 888.222.222.111) such as: 
888.333.333.33
 did not respond.
156.343.333.99
 did not respond.
888.323.222.223
 did not respond.

Here is my script. I know it is something with my send mail part that is cutting out my output. Anyone have any suggestions??? 
@a = (<DATA>);
#$s = system("$?");
$myfil = "myfil";
foreach (@a)
{
system("/usr/sbin/ping $_");
if ( $? != 0)
{
       open(FIL,">>$myfil") || "Can't open $myfil: $! \n";
       print FIL "$_ did not respond.\n";
}
else
{
        print "good\n";
}
}
system("cat $myfil | mailx -s 'Did not ping mail' myemail\@here\.com")
+;
system("rm myfil");
close(FIL);
close(DATA);       

__DATA__
888.333.333.33
156.343.333.99
888.323.222.223
888.222.222.111
