Re^3: Join files using perl

[blue_cowdawg]

my mistake. try this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w 
use strict;
use Tie::File;

my ($file1,$file2,$fileout)  = @ARGV;

tie my @ry1,"Tie::File",$file1 or die "$file1:$!";
tie my @ry2,"Tie::File",$file2 or die "$file2:$!";
tie my @out,"Tie::File",$fileout or die "$fileout:$!";
my %een=();

my %dat=();
map{ $dat{$_}=[]} grep !$een{$_}++,map { (split(/[\s\t\n]+/,$_))[0] } 
+(@ry1,@ry2);
foreach my $line((@ry1,@ry2)){
        my ($key,@vals)=split(/[\s\t\n]+/,$line);
        push @{$dat{$key}},@vals;
}

         
@out=map { join("\t",($_,@{$dat{$_}})) } keys %dat;

untie @out;
untie @ry2;
untie @ry1;

Using your input files this was tested and gave output that you are looking for...
