My first thought is that you could use a hash to hold the data.

Code:
open your first file
save the data into an array called @lines
close the file

foreach $line (@lines) {
$output{$line} = 1;
}

open your second file
save the data into an array called @lines
close the file

foreach $line (@lines) {
$output{$line} = 1;
}

open your output file
foreach $key (keys %output) {
print <FILE> $key . "\n"'
}
close your output file
That's how I would do it, although I would probably use some sort of loop to read the two files if I could.

There's probably some really spiffy other way to do it, though. Smile
