What sort of comparison are you looking to do on the files?
Name? Date? Size? CRC? etc...
For copying of the files, take a look at the File::Copy module.
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Reference/Products/ActivePerl/lib/File/Copy
.html
For comparison, Perl has some built in (file test operators and the stat()
command) and the rest available as modules. There is also a File::Compare
module, but I can't find what it compares.

Subject: newbie help
Is there a reference URL someone can point me to that would explain the
rudiments of simple file copy and compare using Perl under NT/2000 ??
