Here's the code as I've deciphered it: 

open (writefile,">>",$target_full_path) || die "Can't open $target_ful
+l_path";
while($fetchdata=$sth4->fetchrow_array()) {
    print $fetchdata; #it is working
    print writefile $fetchdata; # not appending
    $rowcount++; #here it is counting
}
close writefile; 
print $rowcount;

When you open, it doesn't die? Maybe try printing $target_full_path to make sure it has what you think it does. Your argument to die should include $! in it somewhere since that will have the error that caused open to fail.

I'm sorry, I don't see why this wouldn't work. What was the slight modification that causes it to break?
