in thread Split file using perl and regexp

I am currently using the script like this
$split_file=$ARGV[0]; $split_file=~ s{.*/}{}; $split_file=~ s{\.[^.]+$}{}; print "split_file=$split_file\n"; while (<>) { if ( my ($m_id) = /^\d+\|(\d+?)\|/ ) { open my $fh, '>>', "${split_file}_" . $m_id . '.txt'; print $fh $_; } }
I am trying to create a script for each scenario and pass it as variable.

    By using data placeholders, viz., ~somedata~some data~~~~~~~~~~~~some data~~~~~, you may be omitting information that would assist in crafting a solution to accomplish your end--assuming you're not redacting information.

    Consider showing samples of the actual data, provided it's suitible for public consumption, as this will likely be more beneficial.
