Ok, I tried this, it works.
The only thing I need is: I need to be able to use the output for a
lookup.
in other words


if ($id eq $hash{id}) {
  print OFILE "VALUE of $hash{key};
}

or something to that effect
so I can check and see if the ID # from one file is present in
another
and if so, add them to the output file.
