First of all, thanks Monks for your suggestions. This is what worked for me-

use File::Compare;

       open( DIFFFILE, ">> $diffFile" )|| die " cannot open $diffFile 
+file !!\n";
        print DIFFFILE "Modified Files \n";
        print DIFFFILE "<br>\n";
        print DIFFFILE "=========== \n";
        print DIFFFILE "<br>\n";
                if (scalar(@modarry) >= 1) {
                        foreach $f (@modarry) {
                                print DIFFFILE "<br>\n";
                                print DIFFFILE "$f \n";
                                print DIFFFILE "<br>\n";
                        }

                }elsif (scalar(@modarry) < 1) {
                        print DIFFFILE "\t\n None \n";
                        print DIFFFILE "<br>\n";
                }
        close (DIFFFILE);

foreach $f (@modarry) {
        @the_string=`diff -r  $some_dir/$f $other_dir/$f`;
        open( DIFFFILE, ">> $diffFile" )|| die " cannot open $diffFile
+ file !!\n";
        print DIFFFILE "<br>\n";
        print DIFFFILE "File being diff'd: $f \n";
}

use File::Compare, to get the list of modified files between two dirs, then run the diff command. Not efficient but it did work

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
