Taking the final part of your code I think you need to fix a few things before getting on to some debugging.
There is a bit of confusion between a string holding the filename and an actual filehandle.
I would open the output file outside the loop and close it outside the loop.
Perhaps a
die within the loop so we can stop and see if what we get from the db is what we expect.
open my $fh, q{>}, $datafile
or die qq{cant open $datafile to write: $!\n};
my $header_rec = join(",", @{$read_sth->{NAME}});
# print the header to the filehandle
print $fh $header_rec . "\n";
while (@data = $read_sth->fetchrow_array) {
# lets see what we have
die @data;
my @data = EQ_Misc::arr_replace_undef("", @data);
my $csv_record = join(",", @data);
# you're writing the array _and_ the record (and a dot)?
#print $fh "@data $csv_record .\n";
# did you mean?
print $fh qq{$csv_record\n};
}
#close $datafile;
close $fh;
