split function
Hi all!
I am relatively new to UNIX staff, and I have come across a problem:
I have a big directory, which contains 100 smaller ones. Each of the 100 contains a file ending in .txt , so there are 100 files ending in .txt
I want to split each of the 100 files in smaller ones, which will contain 2000 lines each.
I think that 'split' command is what I must use, but I don't know how.
I go something like:

find . -name "*.txt" | .....

Any hints on the missing part? How can I apply the split command in each file, without entering each directory?
Thanx

NAME

       PerlIO::via::symlink - PerlIO layers for create symlinks

SYNOPSIS

	open $fh, '>:via(symlink)', $fname;
	print $fh "link foobar";
	close $fh;

DESCRIPTION

       The PerlIO layer "symlink" allows you to create a symbolic link by writing to the file handle.

       You need to write C"link $name" to the file handle. If the format does not match, "close" will fail with EINVAL.
