Dear monks, I am attempting to write a script using two input files. Would the below code to it for me, or should I wirte it in a different form? Any input is greatly appreciated. 
system 'cat temp3 | grep "hdlcppp" > hdlc1';
system "mv hdlc1 hdlc";
system 'cat hdlc | cut -d " " -f2-3 > hdlc1';
system "mv hdlc1 hdlc";
system 'cat hdlc | cut -d " " -f1 > hdlc1';
system 'cat hdlc | cut -d " " -f2 > hdlc2';

system "rm hdlcget";
open(HDCLGET, ">hdlcget");

print HDLCGET "\#\!\/usr\/local\/bin\/expect\n";
print HDLCGET "set timeout -1\n";

open(MYINPUTFILE, "hdlc1");

while(<MYINPUTFILE>) {
    my($line) = $_;
    chomp($line);
    print HDLCGET "spawn \ ssh $line\n";
    print HDLCGET "expect \"assword: \"\n";
    print HDLCGET "send \"password\\r\"\n";
    print HDLCGET "expect \"#\"\n";
    print HDLCGET "send \"terminal length 0\\r\"\n";
    print HDLCGET "expect \"#\"\n";
    
    open(MYINPUTFILE1, "hdlc2");
    
    while(<MYINPUTFILE1>) {
        my($line1) = $_;
        chomp($line1);
        print HDLCGET "show xconnect all | inc $line1\\r\"\nexpect \"#
+\"\n";
    }
}
print HDLCGET "send \"exit\\r\"\n";
print HDLCGET "interact\n";

system "touch hdlcget";
system "chmod 777 hdlcget";

system "hdlcget >hdlc3";

Another idea I was considering was to just leave everytihng in the original file (hdlc) and then write the script so it uses field one of "$line" for the first input and field two for the second, but I have yet to figure out how to get that to work as well.
