i have found alot better of a way to accomplish what i was after, works great and i can format its output to my liking :) sorry for being such a pain @anonymous monk :p 
my ($red, $green) = (
                    Wx::Colour->newRGB(235, 0, 0),
                    Wx::Colour->newRGB(0, 110, 63)
                    );  

    @md5s     = "";
    $md5s     = "";
    $filesize = '';

    @md5s = read_file("md5");
    $md5s = join( '', @md5s );

my $dirname1 = "some/path/to/files/with/known/md5s";



foreach my $file (<'$dirname1'/*>) {
        next if -d $file;
        open( my $FILE, $file );
        binmode($FILE);

        $filesize = -s $file;
        $file =~ s{.*/}{};
        $md5 = Digest::MD5->new->addfile($FILE)->hexdigest;
        
        if ( $md5s =~ $md5 ) { 

        my $style1 = Wx::TextAttr->new();
        $style->Wx::TextAttr::SetTextColour($green);
        $lc->SetStyle(-1,-1,$style1);
        $lc->AppendText("$file  |  $filesize\n");        

        }
        else {
        
        my $style2 = Wx::TextAttr->new();
        $style1->Wx::TextAttr::SetTextColour($red);
        $lc->SetStyle(-1,-1,$style2);
        $lc->AppendText("$file | $filesize\n");

            open( my $temporary, '>>', "$dir/md5.txt" );
            for ($md5s) {                
            syswrite( $temporary, "$md5\n" );

            }

        }

    }

So in the end, it was TextCtrl that worked for what i needed. this will get md5 of each file in a directory, compare it against known md5s in a file (@md5s) if it matches text will be green, else it will be red. I really hope this helps someone in the future.
