I've been meaning to figure out how to open an array of filehandles, so here's my opportunity. I Super Searched where title contains all of "open", "handles" and found Opening Multiple FileHandles w/ Simpler Code and FileHandle.

The following will create 3 output files, named 1.txt, 2.txt, 3.txt. You can change the 3 to 24 in the code. 

use warnings;
use strict;
use FileHandle;

my @filenames = map { $_ . '.txt' } 1 .. 3;
my @handles   = map { FileHandle->new($_, '>') } @filenames;
while (<DATA>) {
    my @cols = split /,/;
    $handles[$cols[1]-1]->print($_);
}

__DATA__
10234,1,34234,342,453,34535,3453,3464
12123,1,23432,4353,44645,45654,45645,657
2123345,2,35435,3453,454,56567,56756,567567
