Writing a record to file; can't get a carriage return to produce separate record line

[4cbbaker]

I am reading and updating records in a simple flat file. I am creating a string to hold the updated record. I write the record with a "\n" following the string. I have tried this on my stand alone server and it works. When I try it on Powweb's server it doesn't recognize the carriage return.
I decided to make a short script that reads the file, updates one record and write out the entire file again. It writes the records that were not changed correctly (one on each line) and the one I update does not have a carriage return. What am I missing? Thanks in advance!

Here is the code:

open(INF,$fname) or dienice("Can't open $fname: $! \n");
@booths = <INF>; 
close(INF);
$numentries = scalar(@booths); 

############  load the BOOTHLIST array that will hold the records for the boothfile by formname #############


foreach $i (@booths) {

         ($booth, $slot1,$slot2,$slot3,$slot4, $formname) = split(/\|/, $i);
         $BOOTHLIST{$formname} = $i;
}

   $bname = "facepaint";
    ($booth, $slot1,$slot2,$slot3,$slot4, $formname) = split(/\|/, $BOOTHLIST{$bname}); 
       $slot1 = $slot1 - 1; 
         $BOOTHLIST{$bname} =  $booth ."|". $slot1 ."|" . $slot2 ."|" . $slot3 . "|". $slot4 . "|" .$formname ."|";


    $fname = '>'.$filepath."booth-names-file.fle"; # append the correct directory path; overwrite entire file

    open (OUTF, $fname)  or dienice("Can't open $fname: $! for writing \n");

    foreach $key (keys(%BOOTHLIST)) {
      chomp ($BOOTHLIST{$key});
      print OUTF "$BOOTHLIST{$key}";
      print OUTF "\n";

    }
    close (OUTF);

If you are outputting html you need to use "<br />\n"

How are you viewing the file?

If its in web browser. Check and see what the mime type is listed as.

If its a .txt file our server might serve it up saying its text/plain or maybe it will say text/html

this might cause your web browser to treat the file differently when viewed.

I am viewing the file with Notepad. The file extension is .fle. Thanks!
