The following may get you started:
use strict;
use warnings;
open TEST, '>', 'test1.txt';
print TEST <<DATA;
1
2
3
5
7
9
DATA
close TEST;
open TEST, '>', 'test2.txt';
print TEST <<DATA;
2
4
5
8
9
DATA
close TEST;
open IN1, '<', 'test1.txt';
open IN2, '<', 'test2.txt';
my $in1Line = <IN1>;
my $in2Line = <IN2>;
while (defined $in1Line or defined $in2Line) {
if (! defined $in2Line or $in1Line < $in2Line) {
print "No match from test1.txt: $in1Line";
$in1Line = <IN1>;
} elsif (! defined $in1Line or $in2Line < $in1Line) {
print "No match from test2.txt: $in2Line";
$in2Line = <IN2>;
} else {
# match
print "Match: $in1Line";
$in1Line = <IN1>;
$in2Line = <IN2>;
}
}
close IN1;
close IN2;
Prints:
No match from test1.txt: 1
Match: 2
No match from test1.txt: 3
No match from test2.txt: 4
Match: 5
No match from test1.txt: 7
No match from test2.txt: 8
Match: 9

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).

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