This one will drive me crazy. I have multiple input files, all containing the same number of lines. What I need to do is use all "line one" inputs, then all "line two" inputs, etc. While the below code does what it is supposed to with the last file, it never moves to line 2 of the first file. Any ideas?

print HDLCGET "\#\!\/usr\/local\/bin\/expect\n";
print HDLCGET "set timeout -1\n";

open(MYINPUTFILE, "hdlc2");
open(MYINPUTFILE1, "hdlc3");

while(<MYINPUTFILE>) {
    my($line) = $_;
    chomp($line);
    while(<MYINPUTFILE1>) {
        my($line1) = $_;
        chomp($line1);
        print HDLCGET "spawn \ ssh $line\n";
        print HDLCGET "expect \"assword: \"\n";
        print HDLCGET "send \"$tacacspw\\r\"\n";
        print HDLCGET "expect \"#\"\n";
        print HDLCGET "send \"terminal length 0\\r\"\n";
        print HDLCGET "expect \"#\"\n";
        print HDLCGET "send \"show xconnect all | inc $line1\\r\"\nexp
+ect \"#\"\n";
        print HDLCGET "send \"exit\\r\"\n";
        print HDLCGET "interact\n";
    }
}


close(MYINPUTFILE);
close(MYINPUTFILE1);

Here is what I get from that code, I noted the inputs and the error:

#!/usr/local/bin/expect
set timeout -1
spawn  ssh 10.247.17.141     <-- line 1 of hdlc2
expect "assword: "
send "tacacspw\r"
expect "#"
send "terminal length 0\r"
expect "#"
send "show xconnect all | inc 99999999\r"    <--line 1 of hdlc3
expect "#"
send "exit\r"
interact
spawn  ssh 10.247.17.141    <--LINE 1 OF hdlc2, SHOULD BE LINE 2
expect "assword: "
send "Kalewi13\r"
expect "#"
send "terminal length 0\r"
expect "#"
send "show xconnect all | inc 616698950\r"   <--line 2 of hdlc3
expect "#"
send "exit\r"
interact

Also, while I'm using 2 input files here, later on I will have to use 4 input files, but I haven't gotten to that part yet, and I figured the same logic should apply
