* This script I wrote is designed to send mail messages with predefined attachments, as an alerts coming from Big Brother system. My SMS server has to get messages in acertain format within attachment.
That is how it works: As soon as mail arrives from Big Brother, files named "down" & "up" generated by a .procmailrc file. The down & up files are trigger files that once exists, generate a mail massage with the predefined attachment (which are different for, which is specific for each server & service (there are 23 servers & 4 services). There is a directory tree of all servers & services. Each time down & up files generates in the right path respectively to the service+server damaged. 
My mission now is to create the predefind attachment files. As I mentioned it is something around 100 files, so I would like to automate the proceedure of creating them.
* a few examples: "055405910 http server1 is down"                    goes to dir server1, subdir http. Similar lines goes to files under                      								    		  all the servers under http dir
                           "055405910 disk on server6 is full"                 goes to dir server6, subdir disk. Similar lines goes to files under                      								    		  all the servers under disk dir

The diggits are cell phone no. the message is the template, only the server name is to be changed. Each line from the example goes to one file. In each file possibly more than line, with the same message, but different cell phone.

Ronen,
An interesting problem.

Well, the more I look at what you've supplied,
the more I realize that you've provided a lot of information.

Still, I'm not clear.
Answers to the following would be helpful:
* What's the motivation for what you wish to do?
* Could you give a single example of a template
and how it would get transformed for a particular file
including the rule for the transformation?                   
* In this context, 
what is the distinction between source and template?

George

P.S. Since there are only a few of us here
and since this small group is focused more on perl culture
than on perl coding,
you may wish to also present this problem elsewhere
(if you haven't already).
That being said,
questions like this are certainly welcome here.
