OK, I am new to perl scripting.
I need help, I have a script that i am trying to do the following:
file1= list of unique ID numbers
file2= list of unique html code with the unique ID numbers within the code per line(about 16k-bytes each seperated by carage.

For file1.txt
123432
432342
456645
and so on for example..
file2.txt
<html>...... UNIQUE ID..</html> <html>...... UNIQUE ID..</html> and so on..
Both are standard text files.
===========UPDATE============

for example, file1 line 1 has 12345 for example,
file2 has .<html>...... 12345..</html>
on line 1. I need line 1 of file2 to
be made into a new file called 12345.html
==========UPDATE===========

Now file2 is data_file array,
file1 is names_file array and
the results being several unique (names).html
files.
===========
#!/usr/bin/perl<br>
#read each line in test1.txt into data_file array<br>
$data_file="test1.txt";<br>
open(DATA, $data_file) || die("Could not open file!");<br>
@data_file=&lt;DATA&gt;;<br>
<br>
#read each line in code.txt into a names_file array<br>
$names_file="code.txt"<br>
open(NAMES, $names_file) || die("Could not open file!");<br>
@names_data=&lt;NAMES&gt;;<br>
<br>
#create loop that reads each ID in code.txt (NAMES array), searches fo
+r<br>
#each in array elements for test1.txt (DATA array), redirects a new<br
+>
#(NAMES).html for each element<br>
foreach ( $NAMES )<br>
{<br>
chomp($NAMES);<br>
($NAMES=$DATA&lt;0&gt; &gt; +("$NAMES&lt;0&gt;.html"));<br>
}<br>
<br>
close NAMES;<br>
close DATA;<br>
<br>

I am new to perl but this is absolutely riddled with errors and I have written this according to examples of similar scripts.
