Why don't you show some code/effort? Also you mix row and column. It appears you want to insert the column of file 2 before the columns of file 1. If you first write down the steps to take you're almost there. Like for example:

  1. open the two files for reading, open a new file for writing
      2. In a loop:
    1. read line from file 1
    2. read line from file 2
    3. combine lines
    4. write combined line to file 3
  2. close the files

And why do you want a one-liner for this? And it's Perl and not PERL (yes I am grumpy today)
