### POD ###
 
=head1 Name
 
dupes - a command line utility to report on all duplicate files, even 
+if they
have different names.  This is good for mp3s and multiple drafts of do
+cuments
that may have been backed up in different places.
 
=head1 Synopsis
 
dupes [list of directories to search recursively]
 
=head1 From an empty buffer in Vim
 
The following commands will fill the buffer with a report of all dupli
+cate
files.
 
 :%!dupes [list of directories]
 
B<or>
 
 !!dupes [list of directories]
 
The report generated by the above commands is yet another perl script 
+that can
be edited allowing you to flag certain files for removal.
 
The following command will run the report and remove all flagged files
+.
 
 :%!perl
 
Nothing is deleted unless you flag the file by uncommenting the line.
 
If you don't understand how the report works, the following commands s
+hould
explain it.
 
 perldoc -f push
 
 perldoc -f unlink
