"Ugly perl script to check if packages are installed on a set of workstations"

Info: When you run the script, it will evaluate the list of packages that should be installed with the packages that are installed on each computer in the status directory. It then prints the differences. If the program gives no output, then everything is up to date. I use this program to send a list to our desktop techs about which computer are out of compliance.
