I know nothing about Windows tools, and this is getting OT for the list, but ... rt.cpan is fine for me, each module author has different preferences. In my experience almost everyone prefers unified diffs. You can diff any two files (that started off as the same file), so the names don't matter too much. It's often handy when patching a cpan distro to simply copy the entire distro, and then do a recursive diff between the original directory and the directory with your changes. -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/Thread Previous
