in reply to Combing Text Files into one file

As someone mentioned in the CB (update: and in posts above), you forgot 'OUTF' on your print statement. But here's another possibility:
use File::Copy; ... open(OUTF, ">combine.csv") or die "Error opening combine.csv: $!"; for my $file (@files) { copy($file, \*OUTF) or die "Error copying $file: $!"; } close OUTF;
