It is not a "please find or write a script for me" mailing list, and most people won't write a script for you for free. That put aside, I recalled that the UNIX split ( see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_%28Unix%29 ) and its cat command ( see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_%28Unix%29 ) can do what you want, and you can find Perl implementations of them and many other UNIX commands here: * http://sourceforge.net/projects/ppt/ * http://ppt.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ppt/ Hope it helps, and if you're grateful, then I would appreciate a donation, either to me ( http://www.shlomifish.org/meta/how-to-help/ ) or to the Perl Foundation ( https://secure.donor.com/pf012/give ).
