It looks more natural to me than Perl. It's clean and easy, and fairly
common now on Unix platforms. And it's the only one I am currently
fluent in ;-)
Other implementation (less performant):
http://search.cpan.org/src/ANDK/Perl-Repository-APC-1.132/eg/trimtrees.pl
I'll look into it.
I think the head movement problem might be solved by
first building a
list of file length (the find command processes the files on a directory
by directory basis, so very efficient in this case), before considering
computation of md5sum for files matching in size...
That's what I am doing already. Head movement happens when it really
compares files.
