It is not clear to me from the package description what "corresponding"
means for this program. My immediate reaction[1] is: "Does it mean files
that have identical content?"

The CPAN pages have this:

        In a source tree it is common to have files with the same name,
        but in different places in the directory tree.

Adding some variant of that sentence to the package description would
help a lot.

[1] My immediate reaction is biased since only just this morning I made
some changes to my duplicate file finding program. :)
