The MS Windows copy command can also take a /b modifier to indicate that it
is concatenating binary files. This is necessary to stop line end
transformations and may be useful when dealing with non CRLF terminated
text files that you don't want to corrupt.
eg:
copy /b foo.ext+bar.ext foobar.ext

Frank ..
my answer has nothing to do with Perl .. but you can also use the standard
Windows copy command to do this
copy foo.txt + bar.txt c:\temp\baz.txt
that having been said - I don't think that you can combine two PST files by
just concatenating them .. I suspect that they have headers and such -
being
a binary file
you will probably have to use Outlook to combine them
