Update: I forgot to paste the link. D'oh!

In that case, you will probably find this useful. They run markedly quicker than the perl ports or cygwin versions being natively compiled. 

P:\test>split --help
Usage: split [OPTION] [INPUT [PREFIX]]
Output fixed-size pieces of INPUT to PREFIXaa, PREFIXab, ...; default
PREFIX is `x'.  With no INPUT, or when INPUT is -, read standard input
+.

  -b, --bytes=SIZE        put SIZE bytes per output file
  -C, --line-bytes=SIZE   put at most SIZE bytes of lines per output f
+ile
  -l, --lines=NUMBER      put NUMBER lines per output file
  -NUMBER                 same as -l NUMBER
      --verbose           print a diagnostic to standard error just
                            before each output file is opened
      --help              display this help and exit
      --version           output version information and exit

SIZE may have a multiplier suffix: b for 512, k for 1K, m for 1 Meg.
