If you have the memory something this will probably be faster. You can save on the if/else for every line as well as only doing the minimum in the loop (like not splicing and joining when we don't really need to). Even a saving of a few microseconds X millions of lines is substantial. Multiple calls to print are significantly slower than a single call as the OS can buffer/write more efficiently.
#!/usr/bin/perl
my ($field,%fh);
while ( <DATA> ) {
@field = split /,/;
$fh{$field[2]} .= "$field[0],$field[1],$field[3]";
}
for my $file( keys %fh ) {
open F, ">$file" or die $!;
print F $fh{$file};
close F;
}

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).
