You could do something like this -

Code:
$
$ # show the content of ref_file.txt, table1.unl and table2.unl
$
$ cat ref_file.txt
table1|6|
table2|10|
$
$ cat table1.unl
xx|xx|xxx|xxx|xx|xxx|
xx|xxxx|
xxx|xx|xx|xxxxxx|
$
$ cat table2.unl
xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|
xx|xx|xx|xx|xx|xx|x|xx|x|xxx|
xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|
$
$
$ # Run the Perl script
$
$ perl -ne 'if ($ARGV eq "ref_file.txt") { /^(.*?)\|(\d+)\|$/; $x{$1} = $2 }
            elsif ($ARGV =~ s/\.unl// and defined $x{$ARGV}) {
              $status = "good";
              open (F, "$ARGV.unl");
              while (<F>) {
                chomp($line = $_);
                $c = s/\|//g;
                do {$status = "bad"; last} if $c != $x{$ARGV};
              }
              close (F);
              print "File: $ARGV.unl is $status\n";
            }
           ' ref_file.txt *.unl
File: table1.unl is bad
File: table2.unl is good
$
