what if parameter is 4 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 or 10 or 11 or 12 or 13 or 14 how are the files going to be distibuted then?

it still pretty unclear to me...but hopefully you understand this.
Code:
for i in $list
do
cat $i >>mergedfile
done

u get the idea right?
variable list contains the filenames set as per parameter passed

Git::Repository::Log::Iterator(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		       Git::Repository::Log::Iterator(3pm)

NAME
Git::Repository::Log::Iterator - Split a git log stream into records SYNOPSIS
use Git::Repository::Log::Iterator; # use a default Git::Repository context my $iter = Git::Repository::Log::Iterator->new('HEAD~10..'); # or provide an existing instance my $iter = Git::Repository::Log::Iterator->new( $r, 'HEAD~10..' ); # get the next log record while ( my $log = $iter->next ) { ...; } DESCRIPTION
"Git::Repository::Log::Iterator" initiates a git log command from a list of paramaters and parses its output to produce "Git::Repository::Log" objects represening each log item. METHODS
new( @args ) Create a new git log stream from the parameter list in @args and return a iterator on it. "new()" will happily accept any parameters, but note that "Git::Repository::Log::Iterator" expects the output to look like that of "--pretty=raw", and so will force the the "--pretty" option (in case "format.pretty" is defined in the Git configuration). Extra output (like patches) will be stored in the "extra" parameter of the "Git::Repository::Log" object. Decorations will be lost. When unsupported options are recognized in the parameter list, "new()" will "croak()" with a message advising to use "run( 'log' => ... )" to parse the output yourself. next() Return the next log item as a "Git::Repository::Log" object, or nothing if the stream has ended.
