Script to place selected columns from a group of files side by side in a new file

Hi Everyone,

I need a shell/perl script to bring selected columns from all the files located in a directory and place them in a new file side by side.

File1:
a b c d
2 3 4 5
f g h i
..........
File2:

I II III IV
w x y z
..............
and so on many files are there...

My Output for selected columns(example 1 and 2) from source files should be:

a b I II..........................so on(here last file contents)
2 3 W X..........................so on(here last file contents)
f g
............ So on

Thanks in advance ........
