# on unix you can just use cat `cat file1 file2 > output.file` # on Win32 use type `type file1 file2 >output.file` [download] `cat/type` just output the contents of a file(s) to STDOUT and the `>` reditects the output to a file thus joining the files. Do it at the command prompt or using backtics from Perl as shown. Update As noted above this will probably not work for .wmv files. You can downlad a tool to do the join at http://www.geocities.com/myasftools/index.html cheers tachyon s&&rsenoyhcatreve&&&s&n.+t&"$'$`$\"$\&"&ee&&y&srve&&d&&print	[reply] [d/l] [select]

This problem is not as simple as concatenation, from the sound of it. wmv files are windows media, and you'll need to know the specific format of the files before you can strip off the header of the second, add it to the end of the first, then modify the header of the first to contain info about the newly created file (and there's likely much more to it than that). You're probably better off using a third party editor to do this. I'm not aware of any modules (and a quick cpan search didn't turn up with any) that handle wmv files specifically. -Bird	[reply]

I found a way to do it. you just have to use the FILE::Copy you open a file (append) and you copy both files to the open file. and that's it :-)	[reply]
