Diff on 2 different directories

How can I display only the folders that have changed inside of two different directories?

PHP Code:



diff -r /usr/lib/perl5 /home/test/Download/perl5 | grep -i '^Only'

Will this suffice?

I am trying to see what new directories were added between my working build and a new onefor a project that I working on. thanks

I guess this would work.

This will show a brief description -q:

recursively -r

ignores white spaces -b

PHP Code:



diff -rqb /usr/lib/perl5 /home/test/Download/perl5
