[plug] Insert one file into another

I have two text files, and I want to insert one into the other via a shell 
script. That is, one file has a "marker" line containing something like 
">>>>", and I want to delete that line and replace it with the contents of 
the second file.

I'd normally do that from Perl - easy! - but in this case I need to do it from 
very portable shell script. It's on Linux, so that means bash.

Shell scripting isn't my thing. Can someone tell me how to do this?
