I guess you were trying something like:

  Target[test]: `perl test1.pl` & `perl test2.pl`

or

  Target[test]: `perl test1.pl & perl test2.pl`

That last one won't work for sure.  The first one I don't know.

Why bother?

Either change the scripts, or write a wrapper around it. This
wrapper would remember the first line from script one's output
and use that together with the second line from script two's.

perl test1.pl | head -1; perl test2.pl | tail +2

Place above line in a shell script; use that script between
the two back-tics and it is probably working already.  When
it does, start worrying about optimizing the stuff.
