Comparing two directories using Perl

Question

i am new to Perl so excuse my noobness,

Here\'s what i intend to do.

$ perl dirComp.pl dir1 dir2

dir1 & dir2 are directory nam

Answer 1

I'd recommend using File::DirCompare module instead. ) It takes all the hard work of traversing the directory structure - you just need to define how your directories should be checked (should the sub compare the file contents, etc.)
