1. The perl solution:
-------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
# * probably overkill, if your file list
# is rather short.
# * probably storing the existing files in a @Array
# and grepping is faster
# * probably a shell line with sort / uniq / comm would
# do the same job
# generate a list of existing files
open(IN, "find . -type f -printf \"%f\n\"|") or die;
while(<IN>) { chomp; $Files{$_} = 1; }
# read in the search list and see, the file exists
open(IN, "searchlist") or die;
while (<IN>) { chomp; $Files{$_} or print "Missing: $_\n"; }
2. The Shell solution
--------------------------------
find -type f -printf "%f\n" | sort > files.exist
sort < searchlist > files.search
comm -1 -3 files.exist files.search
