here is what i have so far when trying to compare them. 
my $dirname = "extracted";

open  (my $md5file, '<', "C:/md5");
    binmode($md5file);

foreach my $file (<$dirname/*>) {
    next if -d $file;
open( my $FILE, $file );
    binmode($FILE);

$file =~ s{.*/}{};
    
my $md5hash = Digest::MD5->new->addfile($FILE)->hexdigest;
if ($md5hash =~ $md5file){
    print "$file MATCH\n";
    } else {
    print "$file NO MATCH!\n";
    }
}

I dont understand, it should /just/ work right? I dont open the file over and over and the md5 check is in the foreach loop.
Ive been at just this one part for over an hour and i am ready to give up for the evening lol.
$file =~ s{.*/}{}; just strips the path from the filename. it shouldnt have anything to do with comparing the md5's.
Any help would be appreciated :)
