Hi, I want to compare 2 folders recursively including files and contents,

This script satisfies 80% of my requirement, but i want to print the matching files also, and i tried a lot but cant able to print the similar files.

How i can print the similar files too.
Please help... 
use File::DirCompare;
use File::Basename;

sub compare_dirs{
  my ($dir1, $dir2) = @_;
  my $equal = 1;

  File::DirCompare->compare($dir1, $dir2, sub {
    my ($a,$b) = @_;
    $equal = 0; # if the callback was called even once, the dirs are n
+ot equal
    if ( !$b )     {
      printf "File '%s' only exists in dir '%s'.\n", basename($a), dir
+name($a);
    }
    elsif ( !$a ) {
      printf "File '%s' only exists in dir '%s'.\n", basename($b), dir
+name($b);
    }
    else     {
      printf "File contents for $a and $b are different.\n";
    }
  });
  return $equal;
}

print "Please specify two directory names\n" and exit if (@ARGV < 2);
printf "%s\n", &compare_dirs($ARGV[0], $ARGV[1]) ? 'Test: PASSED' : 'T
+est: FAILED';
