I used PDF from CPAN a while back, and while I can't specifically remember a concatenation feature, I do know that what I used worked well. If you are doing ANY work with PDF files, it's worth a looksee.
(Boy, that's a fairly weak recommendation, he said upon re-reading this.)

There might also be an alternative way : concatenating Postscript files and then converting them to PDF. Anyway, it is better to search in the LINUX community since they happened to be using PS files for more time than any other people.
If there is a way of doing it with Postscript files then it should be easy to translate into PDF (see PS2PDF, etc.).
There are many projects dealing with PDF in Sourceforge.

Searching CPAN I found PDF::Reuse, which seems to be a possibility.
I remember doing the same thing with a module with an easier interface, but I cannot remember its name.
Hope this helped,

Try PDFlib, I have used them many times before. Its fast and reliable. They offer a number of features, one of which is "concatenating" PDFs. The drawback is that you have to pay for that feature, check the site for more info.

I have posted a script for concatenating both whole PDF files and selected pages of PDF files at PDF Concatenation and Extraction Tool which may of use to you in your task.
perl -le "print unpack'N', pack'B32', '00000000000000000000001010101101'"
