You could use rsync to do this.  It has a flag to simply report rather
than actually change things.  See the -n, --dry-run flags in man page.

Subject: [ale] diff on 2 directories

Are there any good tools to do a diff on two directory trees?  I'm doing

an upgrade and there are many perl programs spread throughout and I want

to see the differences.  I've used the diff program before but these 
trees are big and there will be a lot of noise.  There are binary files 
as well as text files.
