I'm sorry but this is really not good.

Aside from the fact that it doesn't compile, what is my $split_fh = "$fh" . 'split'; supposed to do? print $buf $outfile; or opening $out_file in read mode are pretty obvious errors. No error handling on open or read is also not great.

Do you think that reading 2GB of the input file into memory at a time is a very efficient way to go about it?

What happens when the size of the file is not exactly divisible by 5?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
