Compare Files In Directories by Versions

[77920]

My question is does perl have the capability to scan directories and compare a .exe file version # based off of a defined version # if anyone would be so kind to help i'd appreciate it.

Perl can certainly scan directories and perform low level file operations.
The complexity of your requirements would depend on the consistency of the required information within the file.

I'm looking to target the file version of a .exe
some of the applications we use here have upgrades and files have been mixed and matched etc.

So we want to get an accurate comparrison on the directories for which files need to be updated.

Is the file format of the .exe consistent across all versions?

yes its a 10.2.0.1 etc. 10.2.30.0 is an example of a program version

is this an easy task?
