To install File::Dircmp do the following. perl Makefile.PL make make test make install NAME Dircmp - Use in place of dircmp command SYNOPSIS use File::Dircmp; dircmp("directory1", "directory2"); The diffs are returned as an array of strings. DESCRIPTION I wrote File::Dircmp so I would not have to use the dircmp command, diff -r --brief on systems without dircmp. The algorithm I use orders the report differently than the other commands. TODO -d Compare the contents of files with the same name in both directories and output a list telling what must be changed in the two files to bring them into agreement. The list format is described in diff(1). -s Suppress messages about identical files. -w n Change the width of the output line to n charac- ters. The default width is 72. AUTHOR Josh Schulte
