Please help me with this script split.pl

[Julia23]

Halo,

I have this script and I want to run it on a cacm.all collection but I become always this error:

perl split.pl cacm.all

Can´t call Method "print" on an undefined value at split.pl line 49, <> line 1

I think the code is right but IO::Fileworks probably not on my PC.
The cacm.all data is here

http://rapidshare.com/files/59055129/cacm.tar.gz

Is the Script ok? If that script runs on your PC, please pack and upload the document collection on rapidshare. Ireallyneed the document collection splitet for one application.

Thank you very much

The Perl Script code:

=head1 NAME

split.pl - Kai Großjohann is too lazy to provide a description?!

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<split.pl>
[B<-help>] [B<-version>]
[B<file>...]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Read C<cacm.all> format from the given files or from standard input.
Output is written to the F<doc> subdir, one document per file.
Files are named after the document number. The C<.I> line is not
written to the output files. The field indicators like C<.W> are
rewritten to use the at sign instead of dot, as in C<@W>.

=head1 OPTIONS

Option names may be abbreviated to uniqueness.

=over

=item B<-help>

Show this manual.

=item B<-version>

Show program version.

=back

=head1 EXAMPLES
% split.pl cacm/cacm.all

has the effect of writing files F<doc/0001> through F<doc/3338>, where
each file contains one document.

=head1 BUGS

Yes. Please let me know!

=head1 SEE ALSO

perl(1).

Ok and please sorry for my stupid request...

 

[KevinADC]

Yea. The request is a bit over the top mate. Maybe change this line:

$f->print($d);

to:

$f->print($d) or next;

and see if gets the code to at least get past the error message.
