I have some 20.000 .eml files that I wanted to be tar-ed by month. So I wrote a little script to do this. It took me about 4 hours, but I'm still a relative perl and Unix newbie. Nevertheless, I'm proud of it.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;
my $i = 0;
my @files = ();
my %opties =
(
'filedir', '/usr/local/assp/spam/',
'archdir', '/usr/mail/tar/',
'fext', '.eml'
);
foreach (`ls -lT $opties{filedir}`) #make a list of the files
{push @files,$_ if /.$opties{fext}$/;} #only add e-mail files
foreach(@files)
{
$i++;
my @data = split(/\s+/,$_); #remove whitespace
`tar --append --file $opties{archdir}$data[5]$data[8].tar $opties{fil
+edir}$data[9] &>/dev/null`;
print "$i of ".scalar(@files)."\n";
} #tar the file into an archive by month and year (ex : Dec2004.tar)
