in reply to Re^2: create separate output files based on the matched values
in thread create separate output files based on the matched values

However replacing the syswrite with:

  my $fh = $files{$name};
  print $fh "$data\n";

fixes the problem. What do you expect from a reply written before morning coffee :).
