Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Any gotchas?
I've never run a Perl script before, at least not of my own volition. :-)

I found [link|http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/CodeDoc/File-Find-Duplicates/Duplicates.html|File::Find::Duplicates] on CPAN. Any gotchas? It's not terribly descriptive, but I assume that the description of things given for [link|http://search.cpan.org/~jhi/perl-5.8.0/lib/File/Find.pm|File::Find] will help clarify things. I also assume I'll be able to figure out how to direct the output to a file.

I'll be downloading ActivePerl in a few minutes to try it out tomorrow, after my download of SimplyMEPIS_3.4-1.rc1 completes.

Thanks a bunch.

Cheers,
Scott.
New The sample program in the documentation...
is close to what you want. Change the call to the function to:

my %dupes = find_duplicate_files('c:\\');

Write it to a file and from the command line you can write something like this:

perl myprogram > output_file

Cheers,
Ben
