Hi Perl Monkers, I wrote a stupid code (see below) to combine two files and it obviously is wrong. I am not very familiar with Perl Join or grep and can't seem to figure out the code from scratch using these functions. ANy help perl monkers? 

1st file:
pizza
pickle
omellete
coke
blackforest
croissant

2nd file: 
salt   pizza    1
salt   pickle   1
pepper omelette 1
pepper pickle 1

I want is: (If ingredient in file 2 is not found in food from file 1, 
+annotate it as "0" instead of "1").
salt pizza 1
salt pickle 1
salt omellette 1
salt coke 0
salt blackforest 0
salt croissant 0
sugar pizza 0
sugar pickle 0
sugar omellette 0
sugar coke 1
sugar blackforest 1
sugar croissant 0

I wrote this which is obviously wrong:

open(INPUTR,"<$1file") || die "Can't open \$1file for reading.\n";
while($line=<INPUTR>){
    chomp $line;
    $food = $line;
        open(INPUTR1,"<$2file") || die "Can't open \$2file for reading
+.\n";
        while($line1=<INPUTR1>){
            chomp $line1;
            @toks = split(/\t/, $line1);
            $ingredient = uc$toks[0];
            $food1 = uc$toks[1];
            $linemod = $line1;
            if ($food1 !~ $food){
                $linemod = $ingredient."\t".$food."\t"."0";
            }
        }
        close(INPUTR1);
        print OUTD $linemod."\n";
}
