for fun you might want to do the

        perldoc -m File::Copy

and see how the sausage is made...

since it is basically about 'read the input file' and
write it out to the output file - using 'syscopy' - which
is implemented in the Win32 space with

        Win32::CopyFile(@_, 1);

which you may wish to look at...

alternatively let's move along....

what you want is something that does

        dump_across file1 file2 file3 outputfile

that would be:
        
        #!/usr/bin/perl -w
        use strict;

        my $outFile = pop @ARGV;

        open(OUT, "> $outFile") or die "unable to open output file $outFile 
:$!\n";
        for my $file (@ARGV) {

                open(IN, "$file") or die "unable to open input file $file :$!\n";
                print $OUT $_ while(<IN>) ;
                close(IN);
        }
        close(OUT);

you wil of course need to tweek that for the Win32 environment,
since you will probably want to deal with how to make sure that
it reads and writes appropriately - but I think you get the main drift.
