Thank you a lot! It looks like ready solution for me!
I still have some problems with Hashes (but I am learning...), therefore, I still have a question:

-----------
How to fill HoA with the values? Will the following code work for me?

# define files containing tables (tab-delimited text files)
my @files = ['tab1.txt','tab2.txt'];

# Define master hash "$ptables"
my %ptables;

#read files and add data to the HoA:
foreach my $file (@files) {
    my @string_array = Read_File($file); # define arrays of strings
    my $hash_key =~ s/\.txt//; # generate hash key
    $ptables{$hash_key} = [ @string_array ]; # save all strings to the
+ hash
}
