The other question is, how do you want your output?

Right now, the way you're doing it, it's going to bundle them in groups of particular ID's. If you do it in "bulk", it may not end up sorted that politely.

If that's not a problem, I wrote this perl script to do 'split' like things without the temp file mess:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

# Die screaming instead of silently if child fails
$SIG{PIPE} = sub { die("SIGPIPE"); };

my $lines=1000;

my $running=1, $ccount=0, @l;

while($#ARGV >= 0)
{
        if($ARGV[0] eq "-l") {
                $lines=$ARGV[1]+0;
                if($lines <= 0)
                {
                        printf(STDERR "Invalid size\n", $ARGV[0]);
                        exit(1);
                }
                shift;  shift;
                next;
        }

        last;
}

if($#ARGV < 0)
{
        printf(STDERR "pipesplit.pl:  Designed to read from standard input, \n");
        printf(STDERR "and split into multiple streams, running one command per loop\n");
        printf(STDERR "and writing into its STDIN.  \@FNAME\@ is available as an\n");
        printf(STDERR "sequence number if needed.\n\n");
        printf(STDERR "syntax:  pipesplit.pl [-l lines] command arguments \@FNAME\@ ...\n");
        exit(1);
}

#print $ARGV[0], "\n";
#exit(0);

my @l=@ARGV;

while($running) {
        my $n, $fname=sprintf("%08d", $ccount++);
        my $fr=\$fname;

        # Use given arguments as a command, with @FNAME@ substituted
        # for an incrementing number like 00000001

        open(OUT, "|-",
                map { my $v=$_; $v =~ s/\@FNAME\@/${$fr}/; $v } @l
        );

        for($n=0; $n<$lines; $n++)
        {
                my $line=<STDIN>;

                if(length($line) == 0) {
                        $running=0;
                        last;
                }

#               print STDERR "chunk $ccount line $line";

                print OUT $line;
        }

        close(OUT);
}

printf(STDERR "Wrote %d chunks of %d lines\n", $ccount-1, $lines);

You would use it like
Code:
./linesplit.pl -l 5000 grep -F -f - production_list.csv < accurate_list.csv > new_msisdn_list.csv
