Creating output file using Perl
As an simple example, I have the following files

fin1.zv being a one column set of number

Code:
1 90
2 80
3 60
4 30
5 20

fin2.zv is another file like this

Code:
1 10 20 30 40 50
2 60 70 80 90 0
3 90 80 70 60 50
4 40 30 20 10 0
5 10 20 30 40 50

Want to do $i - $2 / $2, let's say we store it in var[i]

var = $i - $2 / $2

where $2 is second column from the first file and $i is the ith column from the second file with i = 2 to i = NF

Want to output a file called file2.zp like this

$1 var[2] var[3] var[4] var[5] ...

where $1 is from file fin2.zv


I have a perl code which does this when I don't have the first column in the files.

Code:
    perl -e ' open(F1,"<$1"); open(F2,"<$2");  \
      while( ($p1=<F1>) && ($p2=<F2>) ) {      \
        foreach (split(/\s+/,$p2)) {           \
          print ($_ - $p1) / $p1," ";          \
        }                                      \
        print "\n"                             \
      }                                        \
      close(F1); close(F2); '                  \
      < fin1.zv fin2.zv                  \
      > fin2.zp

So I need to change it so that it takes account that the files now contain the additional first column as described and output the correct format I mentioned.

locale::codes::langext5.18

Locale::Codes::LangExt(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide			       Locale::Codes::LangExt(3pm)

NAME

       Locale::Codes::LangExt - standard codes for language extension identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Codes::LangExt;

	  $lext = code2langext('acm');		       # $lext gets 'Mesopotamian Arabic'
	  $code = langext2code('Mesopotamian Arabic'); # $code gets 'acm'

	  @codes   = all_langext_codes();
	  @names   = all_langext_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Codes::LangExt" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language extensions, such as those as defined in
       the IANA language registry.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default IANA language
       registry codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language extensions. A code set may be specified using either a name, or
       a constant that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $lext = code2langext('acm','alpha');
	  $lext = code2langext('acm',LOCALE_LANGEXT_ALPHA);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha
	   This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from the IANA language registry, such as 'acm' for Mesopotamian Arabic.

	   This is the default code set.

ROUTINES

       code2langext ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       langext2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       langext_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_langext_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_langext_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
