My input: 
060,071905,001206656,80,199,23,612,129,3,99,005168,
060,071905,001366155,80,199,41,611,750,3,99,100471,
060,071905,003326935,80,199,11,612,113,3,23,018042,

I used this to define where the delimiters were needed: 
elsif ($type eq "060"){
  $parsDat[0] = substr($input, 0, 3);     #Record type
  $parsDat[1] = substr($input, 3, 6);     #Dist Id
  $parsDat[2] = substr($input, 9, 9);     #id
  $parsDat[3] = substr($input, 18, 2);    #fname
  $parsDat[4] = substr($input, 20, 3);    #mname
  $parsDat[5] = substr($input, 23, 2);    #lname
  $parsDat[6] = substr($input, 25, 3);    #code
  $parsDat[7] = substr($input, 29, 3);    #code
  $parsDat[8] = substr($input, 32, 1);    #code
  $parsDat[9] = substr($input, 33, 2);    #code
  $parsDat[10] = substr($input, 35, 6);   #code
  $parsDat[11] = substr($input, 41, 39);  #code

I used this to place the delimiters: 
$output = join(",", @parsDat);
print $handle "$output\n";

As far as the input is concerned, I have about 16 different files to append to each into one.
Thanks
