OK. So, I see six steps in your plan:

  1. process the MD5 of 'file'
  2. and then open 'file.md5'
  3. and hold its content in memory
  4. (to) compare to the processed MD5 of 'file'
  5. then if it matches move to the next file and corresponding .md5 file
  6. if there is an error, send it to the logmd5 subroutine for logging

Which parts of these have you already implemented and which are missing?

Maybe it helps to write these either as print statements or as comments in your code, and then replace them one by one with real code:

sub check_md5 {
    my( $path, $item ) = @_;

 # process the MD5 of 'file'
 # open 'file.md5'
 # hold its content in memory
 # compare to the processed MD5 of 'file'
 # if it matches move to the next file and corresponding .md5 file
 # if there is an error, send it to the logmd5 subroutine for logging

};

What is the first item you can implement? Do that, then do the next item from the list that you can implement. Do that until either you've implemented everything or until you get stuck.
