Hi,

But when I try for .doc file, it doesn't work.

How do you mean? Any error message whatsoever or just a plain .doc file?
It works for me. Though, I would have written the open function ( using the 3 - arugment open function and using a lexical variable as filehandles instead of barewords), like so: 

   open my $fh,'<','file1.doc' or die "can't open file: $!";
## OR
   open my $fh2,'>>','file2.doc' or die "can't open file: $!";

Then you might also want to close the file handlers in the reverse order in which they are opened.
like so:
close $fh2 or die "can't close file: $!";
close $fh or die "can't close file: $!";
