Yeah, probably a dir compare script isn't a very complex program, and I will be able to do it in a few hours ...BUT I remember asking earlier for perl scripts that others have made. I wanted to see what's out there, and what kind of free perl scripts I can use that others have written. And I was told that if I install Linux, it comes with a bunch of perl scripts as part of the installation. I don't use Linux, but maybe some of you do. And maybe if Linux comes with a free Perl script that compares directories, then someone will let me know. I just wanted to see the work others have done before I get to it myself. If a dir compare script is such a novel idea that no one has it, then I guess I will write one and share it here for free. Lol
