I have tried MD5 etc, the problem is that it appears to include the name in the MD5, so if both files are equal but the name are different the MD5 hash appears to be different.	[reply]

That is not the case. Only the content matters. `gmargo@tesla 1368$ ls -l perl10.pl -rw-r--r-- 1 gmargo gmargo 1150 Oct 16 21:43 perl10.pl gmargo@tesla 1369$ cp perl10.pl perl10a.pl gmargo@tesla 1370$ md5sum -b perl10.pl perl10a.pl 976ed3393d1e967b2d8b4432c92b1397 perl10.pl 976ed3393d1e967b2d8b4432c92b1397 perl10a.pl gmargo@tesla 1371$ sha1sum -b perl10.pl perl10a.pl 1f62d2bcc8dcdf3f9ef0f3728f9f99c85eb21d81 perl10.pl 1f62d2bcc8dcdf3f9ef0f3728f9f99c85eb21d81 perl10a.pl` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks look's like the MD5 works nicely. one last question, how do i do the comparioson with each value in the hash? This is what i go thus far, but doesn't seem to work. `while ( my ($key, $value) = each(%hash1) ) { while ( my ($key1, $value1) = each(%hash2) ) { if ($value eq $value1) { print "\n$key => $value\n is equal with\n"; print "$key1 => $value1\n" } } print "$key => $value\n"; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
