Howdy, I have a file with 2968 commands (on different lines and all ending with \n) in a file named "subfile". I would like to put each of the commands in their own file (i.e. subfile0, subfile1, ... , up to subfile2967) Heres how far ive got..... 
#!/usr/bin/perl -W

$NumOfSim = shift(@ARGV);

chomp($me = `id -un`);
$PATH = "/home/$me/src/Tc/Scheme4/Simulation$NumOfSim";

open(FILEIN,"<$PATH/subfile") || die "Cannot open subfile\n";

@row_data = <FILEIN>;
close FILEIN;

for($j=0;$j<2968;$j++)   # jmax = number of job subs
{
  open(FILEOUT,">$PATH/subfile$j") || die "Cannot open subfile$j \n";
  
    foreach $line(@row_data)
    {
            chomp($line);
        $cmd = "$line ";
        print FILEOUT "$cmd \n";
    }#$line

}
