Similars Description
Similars is a Perl module that can locate similar files. Similars is a Perl module that can locate similar files.SYNOPSIS similars.pl Similar-sized and similar-named files are picked as suspicious candidates of duplicated files.What descirbes it better than a sample output: ## ========= 1574 PopupTest.java /home/tong/.../examples/chap10 1561 CardLayoutTest.java /home/tong/.../examples/chap1 1570 PopupButtonFrame.class /home/tong/.../examples/chap6 ## ========= 22984 BinderyHelloWorld.jpg /home/tong/... 17509 MacHelloWorld.gif /home/tong/...The motto is, I would rather my program overkills (wrongly picking out suspicious ones) than neglects something that would cause me otherwise years to notice.By default, similars.pl assumes that similar files within the same folder are OK. Hence you will not get duplicate warnings for generated files (like .o, .class or .aux, and .dvi files) or other file series. Once you are sure that there are no duplications between different folders and want similars.pl to scoop further, specify the --level=1 command line switch. This is very good to eliminate similar mp3 files within the same folder, or downloaded files from big sites where different packaging methods are used, e.g.: ## ========= 66138 jdc-src.tar.gz .../ftp.ora.com/published/oreilly/java/javadc 147904 jdc-src.zip .../ftp.ora.com/published/oreilly/java/javadc Requirements: · Perl
