tracking files

[stevof]

Hello guys, I need some hints.
I would like to have my own script. It will be run on MS Windows twice.

1st time BEFORE installation of any application to "Program Files" directory.
2nd time AFTER installation.

It's output is going to be:
-one file in .csv or .txt format which will contain new files, that have been added after installation with this attributes,

- name of file
- its size
- path (relative or absolute, doesn't matter)
- MD5 hash


Thank you very much!
Stefan

look into the File::Find::Rule module on CPAN, also the stat function which will yield individual file information which you can then pass to Digest::MD5 also on
