As I understand your question, if you have any two (or more) instances of files with the same name, you want to remove all but one, irrespective of whether they have the same sizes, contents, etc. Please feel free to say no to this, if this is not what you intended.
As a matter of interest, when you are removing these files, how do you intend to determine which occurence is preserved and which are deleted?
Did you intend to keep any records?

file::find::rule::extending5.18
File::Find::Rule::Extending(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation File::Find::Rule::Extending(3)
NAME
File::Find::Rule::Extending - the mini-guide to extending File::Find::Rule
SYNOPSIS
package File::Find::Rule::Random;
use strict;
# take useful things from File::Find::Rule
use base 'File::Find::Rule';
# and force our crack into the main namespace
sub File::Find::Rule::random () {
my $self = shift()->_force_object;
$self->exec( sub { rand > 0.5 } );
}
1;
DESCRIPTION
File::Find::Rule went down so well with the buying public that everyone wanted to add extra features. With the 0.07 release this became a
possibility, using the following conventions.
Declare your package
package File::Find::Rule::Random;
use strict;
Inherit methods from File::Find::Rule
# take useful things from File::Find::Rule
use base 'File::Find::Rule';
Force your madness into the main package
# and force our crack into the main namespace
sub File::Find::Rule::random () {
my $self = shift()->_force_object;
$self->exec( sub { rand > 0.5 } );
}
Yes, we're being very cavalier here and defining things into the main File::Find::Rule namespace. This is due to lack of imaginiation on
my part - I simply can't find a way for the functional and oo interface to work without doing this or some kind of inheritance, and
inheritance stops you using two File::Find::Rule::Foo modules together.
For this reason try and pick distinct names for your extensions. If this becomes a problem then I may institute a semi-official registry
of taken names.
Taking no arguments.
Note the null prototype on random. This is a cheat for the procedural interface to know that your sub takes no arguments, and so allows
this to happen:
find( random => in => '.' );
If you hadn't declared "random" with a null prototype it would have consumed "in" as a parameter to it, then got all confused as it doesn't
know about a '.' rule.
