Split big log file into Smaller one.

[tommyboy1992]

I have a huge text file that look like this:

2013/255-12:23:34 - Some event happen
2013/255-12:23:34 - Some event happen
2013/255-12:23:34 - Some event happen
2013/255-12:23:34 - Some event happen
2013/256-12:23:34 - Some event happen
2013/256-12:23:34 - Some event happen
2013/256-12:23:34 - Some event happen
2013/256-12:23:34 - Some event happen
2013/257-12:23:34 - Some event happen
2013/257-12:23:34 - Some event happen

I would like to use perl to split this file into smaller files with the date as file name.

So I would look like this when done:

2013_255.txt will contain:

2013/255-12:23:34 - Some event happen
2013/255-12:23:34 - Some event happen
2013/255-12:23:34 - Some event happen
2013/255-12:23:34 - Some event happen

2013_256.txt will contain:

2013/256-12:23:34 - Some event happen
2013/256-12:23:34 - Some event happen
2013/256-12:23:34 - Some event happen

2013_257.txt will contain:

2013/257-12:23:34 - Some event happen
2013/257-12:23:34 - Some event happen
