hi this script creates a gagillian files in your current directory and reverses a file, enjoy lol. 

#!/usr/bin/Perl

if (@ARGV != 1) {
    print "usage ./catrev.pl file1\n";
    print "@ARGV";
    exit;
}

else {

    $file1 = pop(@ARGV);
    
    open(FILE1,$file1);
    
@array1 = <FILE1>;

foreach (@array1) {
    $each = reverse($_);
    print "$each\n"

}

print "what would you like your file name to be?\n";
$filename = <STDIN>;
chomp ($filename);

if (($filename eq "") || (defined $filename eq 'false')) {
    print "enter some data!";
    exit;
}

else {
    sub hellofile {
print "$_[0] is the file to be written";

open (FILE, "> $_[0]") or die "cant create file";

}
$i == 0;
while ($i < 1000000000000000000000) {
hellofile($filename);
$filename .= poop;
$i++;
}

}

}
