Also for fun, a Perl 6 version.
Note that this only works for files of the same length, because Z terminates (without error) when the shorter list ends.

use v6;
sub MAIN ( $in_path1, $in_path2, $out_path = 'CONCATENATED_FILES' ) {
    my $in1 = open $in_path1, :r;
    my $in2 = open $in_path2, :r;
    my $out = open $out_path, :w;

    for $in1.lines Z $in2.lines -> $line1, $line2 {
        $out.say: "$line1\t$line2";
    }

    .close for $out, $in1, $in2;
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
