So I thought I could split each of them into arrays but I kinda dont know what to do after that.

this is what I got 

#usr/bin/perl -w

open(IN,"/home/datasets/maize/extracted_sequences.gtf");
mkdir sequence1;
while($seq=<IN>)
{
    @file=split(/\r/,$seq);
         open(OUT, ">sequences1/$file[0].txt");
    print OUT ">$file[0]";
}
close(IN);
close(OUT);
