You can use magic! Just have the first parameter be the file you want to save to, and then just list all the files you want to read from.

Here is an example 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
my $outfile = shift; # You have to use shift here for magic to work
open (OUT, ">$outfile") || die $!;
while (<>){ # This is magic, it opens all the files that are on @ARGV
    print OUT $_;
}
close (OUT);

You would call it like this 'myprog.pl outfile file1 file2 file3'
