Though not written in Perl, fdupes has helped me several times in
spotting duplicate files. From its manual:

"Searches the given path for duplicate files. Such files are found by
comparing file sizes and MD5 signatures, followed by a byte-by-byte
comparison."

It can also be used in interactive mode.
