I want to use filehadle array to divide an input file according to their data (So the number of output files can vary according to data). For example, the input file is a input.txt 
----------input--------------- 
street-cat animal
apple plant
strawberry plant
muffler goods
-----------------------

[download]
Then I want to get 3 output files like input.txtanimal.txt, input.txtplant.txt, input.txtgoods.txt. So I coded like 
---------simplified code--------------
@filehandle_array=@data_type_array;
$data_type_number=@data_type_array;
for($i=0;$i<$data_type_number;$i++)
{
 open $filehandle_array&#91;$i], '>', $filename_array[$i];
}
----------------------

[download]
But this code didn't make an error message and didn't produce output files. Is there an easy way to use filehandles in an array?

Thank you for replies. I think that I found my real problem. In my real data, there are impossible characters like \ / : * ? " < > |. They cannot be used for file names.
