Hello!

Let me say first 

***Start of new file for part 2
I've visisted this site for a long time: you guys are a great
font of knowledge the the n00b programmer like myself.

And with that...



***Start of new file for part 3
I am working a program at my internship for processing some huge text files(
1.5 gig ish). The goal is to split the file into 200mb chunks for use in other
programs.

Searching google we found some code to use that works well for splitting files
( "http://search.cpan.org/src/CWEST/ppt-0.14/bin/split" )

My question comes at the part...

while (read (

***Start of new file for part 4
INFILE, $chunk, $count) == $count) {
    $fh = nextfile ($prefix);
    print $fh $chunk;
    }
[download]



***Start of new file for part 5
I want to edit this so that, when it hits the chunk size, it will keep going
UNT

My confusion comes with how that while loop flag condition works. My experience
with Perl ended before ever seeing something like this.



***Start of new file for part 7
I would be grateful to be pointed to some resource or something to look up to
set me in the right direction. As, well, 

***Start of new file for part 8
I really would like to know what the
heck

I'm doing...heh...

Thanks,
