### Input and Output

say merge_strings(@ARGV);


### Implementation

sub merge_strings ($s, $t) {
    my $zip;
	while ($s || $t) {
        $zip .= ($s && substr($s, 0, 1, '')) . ($t && substr($t, 0, 1, ''));
    }
    $zip;
}


### Examples and tests

sub run_tests {
    SKIP: {
        skip "examples" unless $examples;

        is merge_strings('abcd', '1234'), 'a1b2c3d4', 'example 1';
        is merge_strings('abc', '12345'), 'a1b2c345', 'example 2';
        is merge_strings('abcde', '123'), 'a1b2c3de', 'example 3';
    }

    SKIP: {
        skip "tests" unless $tests;
	}
