@_ contains the list of arguments to your function, and when you interpolate it in a string, you get all your parameters separated by a space (unless you fiddled with some funny variables, but I assume you didn't).

I suppose you pass your two full pathnames as arguments, so you have to loop on @_:


sub parse_mail {
    my @mail;
    foreach my $mail ( @_ ) {
        open (MAIL,$mail) || die "Cannot open $mail, $!";
        push @mailf, <MAIL>;
        chomp (@mailf);
        close (MAIL) || die "Cannot close $mail, $!";
    }

    return @mailf;    
}

I also assume you want to concatenate both files. But may be it's better that your sub handles one file at a time and you call it from within a loop...
