I m having trouble using this in a script. I have a test file that looks like : 

open(my $fh1, ">>", "outputcontrol.txt");
open(my $fh2, ">>", "outputoutput.txt");

while ( <> ) {
   
    my $count = ($_ =~ y/x//);
    print  "$count \n";
    # print $_;
    
    if ( $count != $delim_amnt_per_line )
    {
        print fh1 $_;
    }
    

    my ($prefix) = substr $_, 0, 7;
    next if $seen{$prefix}++;

    print fh2 $_;
}

Its supposed to do some checks on delimiter per line and remove duplicates based on a substring, my problem is that i have zero output on the filehandles. Whereas if i ran it with just print it would print normally, both expected outputs on STDOUT. Can someone help me?
