Thank you for the tips you guys!

Got it to work now.

In case anyone is interested, this is the code I ended up with:

#!perl

use strict;
use warnings; 
use autodie; # die if problem reading or writing a file

my $input = 'C:/Some/specific/path/to/inputfile.txt';
my $dir = 'C:/Some/specific/folder';

open FILEin, $input;
binmode(FILEin);

my $first_line_indicator = 1;

while (my $line = <FILEin>){

  if ($first_line_indicator==1){
  
    my @files = <$dir/*>;
    my $countfiles = @files;
    my $outfile = $dir.'/bladibla_'.$countfiles.'.txt';
    
    open FILEout, '>'.$outfile;
    print FILEout $line;
    
    $first_line_indicator=0;
    
  }else{
  
    print FILEout $line;
    close FILEout;
    
    $first_line_indicator=1;
  }
}

close FILEin;
