I'm going to hazard a guess that you are opening this file each time you write these five lines, and that you are using
open FILEHANDLE, ">/path/to/file.txt" or die "Always check for errors: $!"; which will overwite the existing file. Try using open FILEHANDLE, ">>/path/to/file.txt" or die "Always check for errors: $!"; ^ | Note second > symbol This will append to the file. Without seeing your code though, it's very hard to tell.
