Iam sorry if my first post confused a bit... Ok here is what iam doing... ** COBOL Program which extracts information from database to flat file with ! as delimiter... ** My perl programs reads the flat file and should convert it to CSV file based on value at Col 17( contains clients names) ** one CSV file per client 
my %filehash = ();

while (<>){
    @pline = split (/\!/,$_);
my $keycolumn = $pline[15]; # based on this col values split files
    unless ($filehash{$keycolumn}){
          $filehash{$keycolumn}{name} = $pline[15];
          open $filehash{$keycolumn}{handle},">$filehash{$keycolumn}{n
+ame}; # open distinct file handles for each distinct value found in c
+ol 15
    }
print {$filehash{$keycolumn}{handle}} @pline;
    }
# In the above code iam considering all col's , but my new requirement
+ is , for some rows i should only some predifined  col's which can 1,
+3,5,6,7 i.e. i need slice these indices from @pline before writing it
+ into corresponding file
