Have a look at the source of File::Find::Duplicates. Maybe you can adapt the way it finds duplicate files to your needs.

    It seems using Digest::MD5 is the way to go, however I see a big difference between taking a MD5 from an Object or a file.
    For example, you might not want to use all the data from the objects for the fingerprint!
