Hi everyone, I want to run a perl script for multiple input files. I have searched a lot, but could not find any relevant solution for that. The script requires 2 input files and 1 output file; here is the first few lines

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
unless (@ARGV == 3) {die;}
my $in = $ARGV[0]; #merged bsnp table loci 
my $pop = $ARGV[1];# list of population with ind \t pop
my $out = $ARGV[2]; #name of out file

The first input file is my snp_table, second input file is my population file, and the output file should be an empty file. When I have only 1 snp_table, simply I use this command to run the script:

./my_script.pl  snp.tab.table  population.txt  results.out.txt

where snp.tab.table and population.txt are input files and results.out.txt is the empty output file.

The problem that I am struggling with, is that now I want to "run this script in parallel for 500 SNP_table files" and store the out put of each file in a separate output file (the popukation.txt is the same for all SNP files). I am trying something like this:

#!/bin/bash

    for file in snp_table_files/*
    do
        ./script.pl “$file” population.txt "outfiles/$(basename "$file” .txt).out”
    done

in the command above, I have stored all of the SNP_tables in snp_table_files/ directory and created an empty directory for output files outfiles/. , but my code does not work. Could you please help me with that? any help or suggested is appreciated!
