Your one-liners can be simplified to just:perl -pe1 file1 file2 file3 > allfiles

(Or just perl -pe1 file* > allfiles under *nix),

but it won't be as fast as your local system utility; and if one of the files doesn't contain any newlines, it will get very slow indeed, as it will slurp the entire file before writing it back to disk.
