    I know of fsconcordance written by Meng Weng Wong (creator of pobox.com), back before Perl5 had gained wide acceptance. The links to the code seem broken on that page, so here is an alternate listing.

    This is an old script, and probably could use some modernizing, but it might be worth a look.
