11 WHAT IS Array::Compare?
13 Array::Compare is a Perl module which allows you to compare two arrays.
15 It has a number of features which allow you to control the way that the
18 * white space in array elements can be significant or ignored.
19 * particular columns in the arrays can be ignored.
21 Additionally you can get a simple true/false return value or the number
22 of columns which differ or an array containing the indexes of the
27 Array::Compare uses the standard Perl module architecture and can
28 therefore by installed using the standard Perl method which, in brief,
29 goes something like this:
31 gzip -cd Array-Compare-X.XX.tar.gz | tar xvf -
38 Where X.XX is the version number of the module which you are installing.
40 If this doesn't work for you then creating a directory called Array
41 somewhere in your Perl library path (@INC) and copying the Compare.pm
42 file into this directory should also do the trick.
44 WHERE IS THE DOCUMENTATION?
46 All of the documentation is currently in POD format in the Compare.pm
47 file. If you install the module using the standard method you should be
48 able to read it by typing
50 perldoc Array::Compare
56 The latest version of this module will always be available from CPAN.
