repeats=2 while read line; do yes $line|head --lines=$repeats; done < infile > o +utfile

This is not Perl code. It looks like some kind of shell script.

Here's another approach to the problem that uses a script rather than a one-liner. I'm assuming you know how to handle file input/output, so this is just an example of a regex. This code needs Perl version 5.10 or greater; if you have an earlier version of Perl, a fix can be supplied.
