NAME

File::Find::Duplicates - Find duplicate files

SYNOPSIS

  use File::Find::Duplicates;

  my %dupes = find_duplicate_files('/basedir1', '/basedir2');

  local $" = "\n  ";
  foreach my $filesize (keys %dupes) {
    print "Duplicate files of size $filesize:\n  @{$dupes{$filesize}}\n";
  }

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a way of finding duplicate files on your system.

When passed a base directory (or list of such directories) it returns a hash, keyed on filesize, of lists of the identical files of that size.

TODO

Check the contents of tars, zipfiles etc to ensure none of these also exist elsewhere (if so requested).
