functionnalities
- portable without any change to all common operating systems (windows, unix ...)
- easy install : no need to compile or to install many others tools
- fast
- display new/deleted/modified files
- display dangling links
- may be used by any user
- any number of base and config
- config file with exceptions and jokers
- configuration file syntaxe close from aide's one
- command line is perfect on unix, but windows users prefer graphical interfaces, so I add a Tk interface
my choices :
- perl : for portability, and source access
- MD5 for checksum : quick and in all perl distribution
- sdbm database for storage : not clear text, easy of use
I was afraid for perl performances, but the result is surprising !
