This is not the best way to go about solving this problem (use diff
or a module like Text::Diff*),
If we are going to suggest a module, List::Compare would be more to the
point IMO.
It is important to note that this algorithm only works if you care
about unique lines. If you need to know that file1 has 5 lines of
"foo" and file2 has 4 lines of "foo", this code will not tell you
that.
Since the files contain file names from directory listings, that cannot
be applicable to the problem at hand.
