in reply to Can't open SECOND input file given as script parameter ?

You have: 
open OUTFILE, "results" or die "\nCan't open $file2 for reading: $!\n"
+;

Are you sure your code isn't failing here? That is, it cannot open the file 'results' and claims it cannot open $file2?

Note also that you open this file for reading, not writing (and you try to print to it, so you need it open for writing).
