in reply to writing each array element to a unique file

You can write each of these to a new files like this: 
@myArr = ( 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 ); 

for my $item (@myArr) {
  open(ITEM ">$item") or die "could not open $item: $!\n";
  print ITEM $item;
  close ITEM; 
}

    Except that an array is declared like so:

    my @myArr = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11);

    :)

    You were thinking of an array ref, maybe?

    my $myArr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 ];
