i have multiple files containing data as name value pairs which are both numbers.

the data is as follows: name|rollno some1|1 some2|2 some3|3

the problem is i am getting repeated set of values from different text files like name:rollno some1:1 some2:2 some3:3 name:rollno some1:1 some2:2 some3:3 Since ssome1 some2 some3 is common is in everytext file iam making it a column name.I want to read a block of values(1,2,3) from each file and only read the column names once. the code i have tried so far is listed below which splits the data into 

my @files=<*.text>;#scans for .txt extensn in the curent dir
local @_=@files;
foreach my $file(<>)
{
  chomp($file);
  ($name[$i],$value[$i])=split(",",$file);
  $i++;
}
