I want to compare the content of two files without using diff.

Here is the code which I wrote 

#
# Compaing the output and the excepted
#
    open FILE, "expected.txt" or die "can't open:$!";
    @lines=<FILE>;
    $x=@lines;
    foreach $x1 (@lines)
    {
        $COMMAND1 =$x1 ;
          chomp($COMMAND1);
    
    }

    open FILE1, "output.txt" or die "can't openeee:$!";
    @lines1=<FILE1>;
    $x1=@lines1;
    print $x1;
    foreach $x2 (@lines1)
    {
        $COMMAND2 =$x2 ;
          chomp($COMMAND2);
    }


    if($COMMAND1 eq $COMMAND2)
    {
        print "The clt has $COMMAND has Passed ";
        open(Trace1, ">>Passed.log");
        $p1 ="The clt $COMMAND has passed \n";
        print Trace1$p1,"\n";
    }
    else
    {
        print "The clt $COMMAND has failed ";
        open(Trace2, ">>Failed.log");
        $p2="The clt $COMMAND has failed \n";
        print Trace2$p2,"\n";

    }

But this code comapes the lastline in the array.

Is there any way I can compare the entire content.
