Here's another,
open my $out, '>', 'ABC' or die $!;
{
local $_;
open my $A, '<', 'A' or die $!;
open my $B, '<', 'B' or die $!;
open my $C, '<', 'C' or die $!;
no warnings 'uninitialized';
while ($_ = <$A> . <$B> . <$C>) {
s/\n//g;
print $out $_, "\n";
}
}
close $out or warn $!;
That will let the files have different numbers of lines. Memory use is small, and independent of file size.
Update: Repaired the thinko blazar++ spotted. Empty lines are not a problem - we don't chomp, so they retain newlines until we s/// them gone. I like blazar's extension to different numbers of files.

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).
