Data::Compare -
Nothing exported by default
diff, merge
diff, merge
This module requires these other modules and libraries:
Perl::Module
Data::Hub::Util
Error::Programatic
Exporter
Data::Hub::Address
diff \%left, \%right
diff \@left, \@right
Sample output:
[
['+', 'a', 'Cartman'], # Item a has been added and the value is 'Cartman'
['-', 'b'], # Item b has been removed
['>', 'c/1', 'Cartman'], # The value of array c at index 1 is now 'Cartman'
['#', 'e/g', ['a', 'b', 'c'], # The order of keys in hash e/g changed to a, b, c
]
where
$dest is usually the $left passed to L<diff>
$diff is the result of L<diff>
The special next
value
If the new value is '<next>',
and the $dest value is numeric or not set,
then the new value becomes the old value + 1.
This way a counter can be incremented even when another process incremented the same counter between the time our process read the file and writes it back out.
