scperl has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
During a process it generates the temporary files with (.new) as suffix to the source files and it show the difference between the source and temp files on screen Source files are file1.h , file2.h and readme.txt
During the process created temporary files are file1.h.new , file2.h.new and readme.txt.new
The differences it shows as below

How can we get the output of difference between files file1.h and file1.h.new to concatenate and show in single glance using perl similarly for other files also (file2.h and readme.txt )
Required OUTPUT for diff of file1.h and file1.h.new is like below
