in reply to Breaking up a text file to make a Makefile

Try this for a start?

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use v5.10;

open my $FILE ,"makefile.txt";

my $accum="";
while(<$FILE>){
    chomp;
    if(s%(.*?)\\$% %){             
        $accum.=$1;              
    } else {
        $accum.=$_;              
        $accum=~s/\s+/ /gs;      
        say $accum;           
        $accum="";         
    }
}

    Ok, this sets me in the right direction. I need to store these in an array, and then I need to count how many array entries I made in order to produce the definition of the "all" target in the makefile, then dump the array one at a time for each target into the makefile. Thanks!
