One way is to create the hash differently. Only keep the 1st 3 letters of File1 as the keys. Then, grab the 2nd column of File2 and, again, only use the 1st 3 letters.

use strict;
use warnings;

my ($f1,$f2,%patts,$f2_rec,$f2_field);
$f1 = $ARGV[0];
$f2 = $ARGV[1];

open(PATT,"<", $f1) or die;
while (<PATT>) {
    chomp;
    $patts{substr $_, 0, 3} = 1;
}
close(PATT) or die;

open(FILE,"<", $f2) or die;
while (defined ($f2_rec = <FILE>))
{
    chomp $f2_rec;
    $f2_field = (split(/ /,$f2_rec))[1];
    $f2_field = substr $f2_field, 0, 3;
    if(exists($patts{$f2_field}))
    {
        print "$f2_rec\n";
    }
}
close(FILE) or die;

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
