Creating Multiple data files with spaces in the filename

Hi,

I have a list of filenames in the format with Spaces in the filename.

As an example :

Sample File 1.txt
Sample File 2.txt
Sample File 3.txt.....I have about 100 files like this.

I am trying to create a block of code or use an available command to a) Create a file b) Put in some data in each file.

Suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks

File::Slurp::WithinPolicy(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			    File::Slurp::WithinPolicy(3pm)

NAME
File::Slurp::WithinPolicy - Applies filesystem policies to File::Slurp SYNOPSIS
use File::Slurp::WithinPolicy qw(:all); my $text = read_file( 'filename' ); my @lines = read_file( 'filename' ); write_file( 'filename', $text ); append_file( 'filename', $more_text ); overwrite_file( 'filename', $text ); my @files = read_dir( '/path/to/dir' ); DESCRIPTION
This provides the File::Slurp interface within a policy defined by File::Policy. By default, File::Policy is a no-op and this behaves identically to File::Slurp. System administrators may want to override the default File::Policy implementation to enforce a local filesys- tem policy (see File::Policy). FUNCTIONS
read_dir See "read_dir" in File::Slurp read_file See "read_file" in File::Slurp write_file See "write_file" in File::Slurp append_file See "append_file" in File::Slurp overwrite_file See "overwrite_file" in File::Slurp EXPORTS
By default, nothing is exported. The ":all" tag can be used to export everything. Individual methods can also be exported. SEE ALSO
