Actually, the code given only unifies the second file.  I spaced the
first requirement, as I was skimming the email and had to leave so
that's about a 8 minute script - I'll try for a better solution later,
or others can add to what I already wrote (not hard - just sort the
other file, then iterate through both files at the same time, printing
out results when and ID match is found).

Yes.  It both sort/perl do numerical comparisons.
