Without having written any code to verify this, this seems like a most excellent use of Hash::Merge and XML::Simple.
In theory, it should be something as easy as this:
use XML::Simple;
use Hash::Merge;
my %config1 = %{XMLin ('file1')};
my %config2 = %{XMLin ('file2')};
my %newhash;
Hash::Merge::set_behavior ('RIGHT_PRECEDENT');
*newhash = merge (\%config1, \%config2);
XMLout (\%newhash, outputfile => "newfile", xmldecl => 1, rootname =>
+'config');
While this code is theoretical, I use a variant of it for a similiar purpose, and it works flawlessly. I don't know if what you want to do can be done reliably, without using some XML module or another.

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
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
