Yes. The code is untested. Switch all '\'s in the path names to '/'s and Perl will do the right thing. Also, I just noticed a typo: nfile2 should be infile2.

There may well be other bugs or typos you'll need to fix. There idea here is for use to help you (learn Perl), not just give you solutions, so you may have to put a little effort in :)
