Firstly this seems remarkably close to one of your many threads on this subject except that it has three files not two files.
https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...1-problem.html

Secondly to avoid too much guesswork:
  • Please state what Operating System and version you have.
  • Please state you preferred Shell.
  • Please list what data processing tools you have available. We note that you have perl and awk. Do you have a high-level programming language too or are you trying to write this system in unix Shell.

Thirdly and most importantly:
Exactly how big are the files?
Are they fixed length records in standard unix text file format?
Does the full-stop appear in the data?
Do you have a larger sample (say 20 lines per file) of representative data?

cpanplus::shell::default::plugins::source

CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source(3)		User Contributed Perl Documentation	      CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source(3)

NAME

       CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source - read in CPANPLUS commands

SYNOPSIS

	   CPAN Terminal> /source /tmp/list_of_commands /tmp/more_commands

DESCRIPTION

       This is a "CPANPLUS::Shell::Default" plugin that works just like your unix shells source(1) command; it reads in a file that has commands
       in it to execute, and then executes them.

       A sample file might look like this:

	   # first, update all the source files
	   x --update_source

	   # find all of my modules that are on the CPAN
	   # test them, and store the error log
	   a ^KANE$'
	   t *
	   p /home/kane/cpan-autotest/log

	   # and inform us we're good to go
	   ! print "Autotest complete, log stored; please enter your commands!"

       Note how empty lines, and lines starting with a '#' are being skipped in the execution.
