Re^3: Handling Hash Comparison

[Errto]

Ok. I posted an update above - basically you can use $File::Find::dir instead of getcwd so that the relative path instead of the absolute path becomes the key. But now I'm unclear - I understand that if two files in corresponding relative paths have matching MD5 sums you want to do something, but I don't understand what that is. Right now what would happen is that you copy the file onto itself.

exactly, and that is my issue, that I am not sure how I need to change the code to get the appropriate arguments to 'cp'.

[Errto]

So, I'm still not clear...what do you want it to do? In the OP you only said you wanted to compare MD5 sums of corresponding files. I don't see how copying fits into it.

I am trying to synchronize the files recursively in the 2 dirs, so that everything in the source is checked in the destination, and updated if necessary, using md5's to check the files.
