open (IFILE1,"Filename1.txt") or die "Can't open file1";
open (IFILE2,"Filename2.txt") or die "Can't open file2";
open (OUTFILE,">OutputFile.txt") or die "Can't open file for writing";

while (<FILE1>){print OUTFILE $_}
while (<FILE2>){print OUTFILE $_}

close IFILE1;
close IFILE2;
close OUTFILE;
A bit long winded, theres probably a one liner to do it, but it'll do the job, and might help to explain file handling in perl into the bargain!

Should also have said that this combines them into a third file - a nice cautious option!
