Nicely done.

Funny that it felt like a homework assignemnt, showing that homework sometimes does reflect the real world :-).

That said, I can't see any particular issue with yoru code, other than the use of a variable for the file handle, which I'm seeing more and more of in Perl posts here. Has that become the "new normal"?

What you just did with that code, by the way, is essentially re-invent the sort/merge using Perl hashes to take care of all the dirty work for you. :-)

Looking forward to your next Perl issue.
