By the same file if you mean same contents, check out File::Compare
The approach would be something like this.
use File::Compare;
opendir (DIRX, $dirX) or die ".....";
while (my $xfile = readdir(DIRX)) {
if (compare($xfile, "$dirY/$xfile") != 0) {
print "Your error messages";
}
}
closedir (DIRX);
Note, you will have to add a check to see if the number of files in dir X
and dir Y are the same.
