If you're in unix, use the 'split' command. I think the syntax would be 'split -l 4000 filename', and it will do exactly what you want. (See man split for more detail.)

It's not tremendously hard to do it through perl, and if you want to modify anything that'd be useful. I'm sure someone will post code for that very soon. There's more than one way to do it!

Even if you don't use Unix (or do but are missing the split command), you can download a pure-Perl implementation of split from the Perl Power Tools site. :)
