How would I display interleaved output of two files, like for instance,

$cat file1 file2
file1-line1
file1-line2
file1-line3
file2*line1
file2*line2

the output of exectuting inter2files is

$./inter2files.pl file1 file2
file1-line1
file2*line1
file1-line2
file2*line2
file1-line3


I understand this is an extremely challenging question and most people probably would hav a very hard time with it (myself included) but was hoping someone would be able to help me out on this one as thus far I've tried alot on this one but am currently stumped, any help would be much appreciated!

Can someone please help, this is kind of urgent, I worked on this for a long time and really need some help tonight, I'm sure some of the so called "experts" here are busy masterbating to old pics of Steve Jobbs from the 1980's, but the actual skilled people's help would be greatly appreciated! TY!

Did you try? What did you come up with? You gotta show, at least, you tried.

Here's what I cam up with asshole, problem solved.


$f1=$ARGV[0];
$f2=$ARGV[1];
$ef1=0;
$ef2=0;
open $fh1,"$f1";
open $fh2,"$f2";
while ($ef1==0 and $ef2==0)
{
if ($l1=<$fh1>)
{
print "$l1\n";
}
else
{ $ef1=1; }
if ($l2=<$fh2>)
{ print "$l2\n";}
else {$ef2=1;}
}
