in reply to Bit of maths between two files
Some hints that may or may not apply depending on what you actually are trying to do:
If you want to produce a File3 where line X depends on line X of File1 and line X of File2, you need to be going through File1 and File2 at the same time, not in separate loops. See the question from a couple weeks ago: Combining Lines from Two Docs into Another
Make sure to only use "my" variables in their scope; they only last until the end of the innermost enclosing {}. If you try to use them beyond that point, you'll get the global variable of the same name instead. Put "use strict;" and "use warnings;" at the top of your script to be notified when you make this mistake (and others).
