but see, i wont know the file until i parse the main file. The file you looked at before in the other thread is part of another file, its a table within a table within a table.
psuedocode:

open main file for parsing; #not file1 or file2
parse out each file within this file;
when reach $file1 send to subroutine;
when reach $file2 send to subroutine;
exit script;

its hard to explain actually lol. All the files will be handled basically the same way as this subroutine above but will be a little bit different.
The Main File has around 60 files inside of it. when you open the file in any hex editor... it has references just like the file i think you looked at a few days ago with file 1-25. the main thing with this script is will it allow me to go to $file1 and send it thru the sub routine, then go to $file2 and then send it thru the subroutine.

TL;DR
In essence these two files are within another file that i am parsing via hex offsets. i want to send each file thru one at a time in the same script.
so i think this will work correct? : 
my $file1 = 'extracted/file1';
sub infile($file1);
my $file2 = 'extracted/file2';
sub infile = 'extracted/file2';
