I'm looking for a Perl solution which displays an HTML document that illustrates the differences between two versions of an HTML document. It needs to "accept" two HTML documents and output a new HTML document that shows sections removed, sections added, and sections changed. I believe that it must know about HTML so that it doesn't hightlight tags that have changed, but somehow shows that formatting has changed.

I've found HTML::Diff, but the documentation is skimpy and only seems to handle providing the backend functionality of returning structures that show what has changed.

Are there any other options out there that are Perl based?

TIA

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
