Script or module like version-control for files in a directory?

Scottie has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I need to update the Oracle's RDBMS binaries. I'm looking for perl script or module that will show me which files have been changed (new, deleted, modified, etc.). I plan to run a script before and after patching, and then compare the results.

I will be grateful for an answer, because Google returns too many results for the "perl compare" phrase.

Best regards,
Scottie
