in reply to How to restart a while loop that is iterating through each line of a file?

Or just populate the file once and then copy it 33 times? Only showing the 'copy' part here.
use Modern::Perl qw/2015/; use File::Copy; my $source = 'D:\Perl\scripts\data0.txt'; my $destination = 'D:\Perl\scripts\data'; copy( $source, "$destination$_.txt" ) or die "Copy failed: $!" for ( 1 + .. 33 );

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
