I have some code that writes some data to a file. The problem is that I want the data to be written onto one line with the pipe separator. Unfortunately, the data is being written to a newline each time. I've used chomp to fix the line outside of the foreach, but no matter how I try chomp within the foreach, I can't seem to get it to work. I have included the code and the output file.

sub write_results {
    
    if($regtype eq "biz") {
    
        open (RESULTSDB, ">>$datadir/databases/bizresults\.dat") || di
+e "Cannot open bizresults\n";
        $writebiz = "$complogin|$first|$last|$email|$test_taken|$test_
+score";
        chomp ($writebiz);
        print RESULTSDB $writebiz;
        
    } elsif ($regtype eq "ind") {
    
        open (RESULTSDB, ">>$datadir/databases/indresults\.dat") || di
+e "Cannot open indresults\n";
        $writeind = "$username|$test_taken|$test_score";
        chomp ($writeind);
        print RESULTSDB $writeind;

    }#end If
    
    foreach $sorted_row2 (@sorted_rows) {
        ($number_missed2, $report_category_name2) = split (/\|/,$sorte
+d_row2);
        chomp($number_missed2, $report_category_name2);
        $foreach = "|$report_category_name2|$number_missed2";
        chomp ($foreach);
        print RESULTSDB $foreach;
    }#end foreach
    
    print RESULTSDB "\n";
    close (RESULTSDB);
}
