Hi,
I have the set of files that look like this. 
~/MyDir
    |__ file1.txt
    |__ file2.txt
    |__ file3.txt
    |__ ...
    |__ file30.txt

What I want to do is to concatenate a subset of files from above directory: 
 
@sel_files = ( "file2.txt", "file4.txt", "file15.txt");

[download]
into a single file called 'selected.txt'. Just like I would do it manually with bash`s cat command: 
$ cat file2.txt file4.txt file15.txt > selected.txt

[download]
How can I do it with Perl? The reason why I need to do it with Perl because in reality the number of files to be concatenated is a lot and varying. I need to automate the process.
