You can use the following script to achieve your requirement.

Code:
cd JPG
files=`ls *.jpg` #getting only the picture files
j=0
k=0
for i in $files #reading file names one by one from the list
do
if [[ $j -eq 0 || $j%200 -eq 0 ]] #creating the directory if the file is first one as well as numbe of files is 200 multiples such as 200,400,600,etc.,
then
mkdir JPG$k #creating the directory JPG0,JPG1,JPG2,etc.,
dir="Dir$k"
cp $i $dir #copying the files to directory
let k+=1
let j+=1
else
cp $i $dir #copying the files to directory
let j+=1 #incrementing the counter to know the number of files
fi
done

Dist::Metadata::Dir(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  Dist::Metadata::Dir(3pm)

NAME
Dist::Metadata::Dir - Enable Dist::Metadata for a directory VERSION
version 0.923 SYNOPSIS
my $dm = Dist::Metadata->new(dir => $path_to_dir); DESCRIPTION
This is a subclass of Dist::Metadata::Dist to enable getting the dists metadata from a directory. This can be useful if you already have a dist extracted into a directory. It's probably not very useful on it's own though, and should be used from "new" in Dist::Metadata. METHODS
new $dist = Dist::Metadata::Struct->new(dir => $path); Accepts a single 'dir' argument that should be a path to a directory. determine_name_and_version Attempts to parse name and version from directory name. dir Returns the "dir" attribute specified in the constructor. file_content Returns the content for the specified file. find_files Returns a list of the file names beneath the directory (relative to the directory). physical_directory Returns the "dir" attribute since this is already a directory containing the desired files.
