Filename from splitting files to have the same filename of the original file with counter value

Hi all,
I have a list of xml file. I need to split the files to a different files when see the <ko> tag.

The list of filename are
B20090908.1100-20090908.1200_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml
B20090908.1200-20090908.1300_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml
B20090908.1300-20090908.1400_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml

I have a question on how to have the same filename with the counter number append at the end on the filename?

This is the code that I used


perl -n -e '/^<ko>/ and open FH, ">output".$n++; print FH;'

and the filename I get just
output0
output1
output2
output3
output4

Actually,the filename that I needed:

B20090908.1100-20090908.1200_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml_output0
B20090908.1100-20090908.1200_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml_output1
B20090908.1100-20090908.1200_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml_output2
B20090908.1100-20090908.1200_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml_output3
B20090908.1100-20090908.1200_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml_output4

B20090908.1200-20090908.1300_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml_output0
B20090908.1200-20090908.1300_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml_output1
B20090908.1200-20090908.1300_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml_output2
B20090908.1200-20090908.1300_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml_output3
B20090908.1200-20090908.1300_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml_output4

B20090908.1300-20090908.1400_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml_output0
B20090908.1300-20090908.1400_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml_output1
B20090908.1300-20090908.1400_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml_output2
B20090908.1300-20090908.1400_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml_output3
B20090908.1300-20090908.1400_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml_output4

How do modify this code "perl -n -e '/^<ko>/ and open FH, ">output".$n++; print FH;' " so that I can have the filename that I want?
Anyone have any idea?

Thanks in advance!

Code:
while(<DATA>){
	chomp;
	for (my $i=0;$i<=5;$i++){
		print $_,"_output",$i,"\n";
	}
	print "\n";
}
__DATA__
B20090908.1100-20090908.1200_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml
B20090908.1200-20090908.1300_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml
B20090908.1300-20090908.1400_CDMA=1,NO=2,SITE=3.xml

Hi summer cherry,

Thanks for your help.

However, from your code, where should I put my code?

Thanks!

With awk:

Code:
awk -F"[-.]" '{for(i=0;i<5;i++)print $0 "_output" i}' file
