It looks like your script might be pretty long. Please try removing a bunch of stuff from it so that you can reduce your script to a simple test case. You may figure out your problem between now and then, but if you end up with a very small script that still exhibits this problem, please post it in this thread.
What you're describing doesn't make a lot of sense, unfortunately. I suspect there's something else going on. There should be no reason a space in this fashion should affect whether or not your output gets written.
Be sure, though, that if you're writing to a file that you're checking the file's contents only after your script closes the filehandle. Buffering may delay the actual writing of data to a file until it's closed.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
