This will take care of the first output file quickly and easily:

#! perl -slw use strict; use Inline::Files; my $tally = ''; m[rs(\d{7})] and vec( $tally, $1 - 1e6, 1 ) = 1 while <FILE2>; m[rs(\d{7})] and vec( $tally, $1 - 1e6, 1 ) and print while <FILE1>; __DATA__ __FILE1__ chr1 11223 11224 rs2342349 chr2 23423 23424 rs6345435 chr3 64564 64565 rs3432456 chr4 56456 56457 rs7979979 __FILE2__ rs2342349 rs3274234 rs2342344

The second output file makes no sense. The position of what in the first file? The position of what in the second? Number of matching what? Number of non-matching what?

Is that 4 lines (including all the boiler-plate text) for every line in file 1; or file 2? Or every line in file 2 that was matched? Or...

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. Not understood.
