Good point - depending on the OP's needs I can see where this would be useful.

One issue I have with the solutions which use push is that if a file doesn't contain a name (or contains a name not found in other files), then the outputted data is not going to be lined up correctly. When implemented with a hash, the script can be used on non-uniform data files, and it makes it easy to spot data files which don't have the same names as the others (i.e. missing data.)
