post bits of code you like

i shall start:

open(F,"find -type f|");
while (<F>) {
 $_ = substr($_,2,-1);
 print "$_\n" if $v;
 push @{$dups{substr(`md5sum -b "$_"`,0,31)}}, $_;
}
close(F);

for every file in a directory it checksums the file, then adds the checksum as a key to a hash, the value being an array reference. the filename is then added to the array.

so basically the arrays have a list of files with the same checksum. i use this to find duplicates files.

Hungarian notation sucks and fails. Tell you what, I'd rather have Basic's horrible $, %, &, !, # stuff than Hungarian notation, and I'd rather have anything else than Basic's horrible stuff.
