It's still not clear what exactly you want, but maybe you want a line by line comparison of the files? If so, the following will help you along: 
use strict;
use warnings;

open my $fh1, '<', 'text1' or die $!;
open my $fh2, '<', 'text2' or die $!;

while (!eof($fh1) && !eof($fh2)) {
    chomp( my $line1 = <$fh1> );
    chomp( my $line2 = <$fh2> );
    
    if ($line1 eq $line2 ) {
        print "Match for $line1\n";
    } else {
        print "Difference for $line1, $line2\n";
    }
}

if (! eof($fh1)) {
    warn "Still more data in file handle 1\n";
}
if (! eof($fh2)) {
    warn "Still more data in file handle 2\n";
}

close($fh1);
close($fh2);
