How to apend 1 file to another?

[Wow]

Do I have to read file1 and do a >> to file2? Any easiler way? Perl or Shell
scripts are both OK.

use File::Slurp ;

my $text = read_file( 'file1' ) ;
append_file( 'file2', $text ) ;

is there a way to apend it without read it first? such as cat a.txt b.txt >
b.txt

use File::Slurp ;

my $text = read_file( 'file1' ) ;
append_file( 'file2', $text ) ;

don't top post. read the group guidelines (posted regularly)

what do you think cat is doing there, twiddling its thumbs? it is
reading the file. and that shell example has a classic bug in it.

and even if you fixed the bug, it reads the second file which is not
needed.

file systems don't usually provide ways of moving data without reading
them. so how would you do it without reading the file?

and you asked for a perl solution and i gave you one. what more do you want?
