Much closer, I've written the following code, albeit also not working, with the same intent. The issue here is that, see OUT example below, only the first line of <PERSON> is read; instead of line1 from <PERSON>, then line1 from <MGR>, then line2 from <PERSON>, then line2 <MGR>, etc.

while (<PERSON>) {
        chomp;
        my $input1 = $_;
                while (<MGR>) {
                chomp;
                my $input2 = $_;
                        print OUT $input1;
                        print OUT "changetype: modify";
                        print OUT "replace: manager";
                        print OUT $input2, "\n";
                        }
}

exit;
