Hi there,
give this a try and let me know how if you have questions.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use 5.016; #version >=5.12 turns on strictures by default
use warnings;
use autodie qw/ open close /; #saves typing die all the time
die "Usage: $0 infile1 infile2\n" unless @ARGV == 2;
my %count_cols;
my @cols;
while( <> ) { # perl will read/process one file in whole then move o
+n to the next
chomp;
# get 1st col from each line using an array slice
push @cols, ( split( /\t/, $_ ) )[0];
}
for ( @cols ) {
$count_cols{ $_ }++; # hash value = how many times does col name a
+ppear
}
my @intersects; # store columns that appear in both files
for ( keys %count_cols ) {
if( $count_cols{ $_ } == 2 ) {
push @intersects, $_;
}
}
# open fileA again and extract fields in second column
open IN, "<", "fileA";
while( my $line = <IN> ) {
chomp $line;
next if ! $line;
for my $intersect ( @intersects ) {
if( $intersect eq ( split( /\t/, $line ) )[0] ) {
my $result = ( split( /\t/, $line ) )[1];
say $result; # prints with \n, supported in >5.10
}
}
}
close IN;

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.
