Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hey, I have a very long input file which

>id_1 some text... >id_1_2 some text..

I want to split every, bock of information along with > >id_1 some text... in the above format into a new file. Meaning there should be n new files for n > and i use ">" as pattern to split the file sections. for every ith > i want the name of the output file to be "id_name" from the first line of the file. Thanks for helping!
