To solve this issue of mine, I've done something not very elegant: I've written 5.427 commands with all the files to merge and just made an executable file with all the commands copy pasted there. This is how it looks like (for the first 11 files):

Code:
./match.pl  -f 9464294024_R01C01header -g 9466656017_R01C01header -k 1 -l 1 -v "5 6 7" > ./result/1
./match.pl  -f 9464294024_R01C02header -g ./result/1 -k 1 -l 1 -v "5 6 7" > ./result/2
./match.pl  -f 9464294024_R02C01header -g ./result/2 -k 1 -l 1 -v "5 6 7" > ./result/3
./match.pl  -f 9464294024_R02C02header -g ./result/3 -k 1 -l 1 -v "5 6 7" > ./result/4
./match.pl  -f 9464294024_R03C01header -g ./result/4 -k 1 -l 1 -v "5 6 7" > ./result/5
./match.pl  -f 9464294024_R03C02header -g ./result/5 -k 1 -l 1 -v "5 6 7" > ./result/6
./match.pl  -f 9464294024_R04C01header -g ./result/6 -k 1 -l 1 -v "5 6 7" > ./result/7
./match.pl  -f 9464294024_R04C02header -g ./result/7 -k 1 -l 1 -v "5 6 7" > ./result/8
./match.pl  -f 9464294024_R05C01header -g ./result/8 -k 1 -l 1 -v "5 6 7" > ./result/9
./match.pl  -f 9464294024_R05C02header -g ./result/9 -k 1 -l 1 -v "5 6 7" > ./result/10

I've used numbers to name the output files as it was easier to loop them for writing. The commands work without any problem. And I've got my output.

I must admit that I do not understand the script you've provided, nor the diagnostics (I'm a beginner, posting in the forum for beginners) and, thus, cannot comment on your statement of your script working or what the diagnostics say. I'm grateful for your time and help, but am a bit baffled as to why the general consensus is that the only possible explanations to this situation are in two possibilities (1) my perl script having a problem or (2) I'm not providing truthful/good information.

pstopdf

pstopdf(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						pstopdf(1)

NAME

     pstopdf -- convert PostScript input into a PDF document.

SYNOPSIS

     pstopdf [inputfile] [-o outname] [-l] [-p]

DESCRIPTION

     pstopdf is a tool to convert PostScript input data into a PDF document. The input data may come from a file or may be read from stdin. The
     PDF document is always written to a file. The name of the output PDF file is derived from the name of the input file or may be explicitly
     named using the -o option.

     Flags:

     -o outname
	     The name of the output file to create. If an explicit file name is not supplied, the output file will be created in the current
	     directory and named foo.pdf for an input file named foo.ps

     -l      Specifies that any messages generated during file conversion be written to a log file. For an output file named foo.pdf the generated
	     log file is foo.pdf.log rather than generated to stdout. If there are no messages, the log file is not generated.

     -p      Generates a simple progress message to stdout at the end of each page. Because conversion of complex or lengthy PostScript input can
	     take time, it is sometimes useful to see that progress is being made. Progress messages are always written to stdout even when the -l
	     (log file) option is specified.

EXAMPLES

     pstopdf inputfile.ps	Creates a PDF file named inputfile.pdf from the PostScript data in the input file inputfile.ps

     pstopdf -o outputfilename	Creates a PDF file named outputfilename from the PostScript data read from stdin.
