To prevent blank lines in output caused by blank lines in 1.fa, add
next unless $line =~ /\S/; or similar after removing leading and trailing spaces.
Update: looking back this, if the ">" actually appears in the 1.fa file, then just delete it if seen while processing the line and use the above logic.
