Weblog entry #5 for ajt

A long time ago I wrote a simple Perl script to find duplicate files for work. Most users can't organise files to save their lives and the company's networked drives were full to bursting at the time. After a few hours running we identified many gibibytes of duplicate PDFs and Word files.

After some extra hacking I packaged a very much revised version up onto my web site: www.iredale.net/p/by-type/code/perl/find-duplicate-files. I've not updated in ages and there are probably better alternatives now.

As I'm off work today, I thought it may be worth actually releasing an updated version (0.4) in case anyone actually uses it.
