It is much more accurate and safe than only using a diff. Accuracy is irrelevant for text documents. Either a line is the same, or it is not. Besides that, I'm especially interested in *which* lines are different, and how they changed. diff tells me exactly that. the last modified date. This value is not safe/trustworthy. It has proven to be worthy of my trust. Juerd # { site => 'juerd.nl', plp_site => 'plp.juerd.nl', do_not_use => 'spamtrap' }
