neptoner has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Perl Monks We are using your xml-diff ('XML-Diff' => '0.04')package in one our tool. But while comparing , we get some times certain breaks even though the xmls are same. The tool diffs xmls continuously . Module used:http://morpheus.csustan.edu/perlman/pods/XML/Diff.html On a simulation Two similar xmls are compared in a while loop ,and we got the diffs..i.e diffgrams very differently Sometimes it said they are equal and sometimes it gave differencesCan you please advise us on the same code snippet:
$origResponse='xmlstring1’; $newResponse='xmlstring2’; use XML::Diff; my $diff = XML::Diff->new(); while(1){ print STDERR "$origResponse\n\n"; print STDERR "$newResponse\n\n"; $diffgram = $diff->compare(-old => $origResponse ,-new => $newResponse ,-asString => 1 ); sleep 5; print STDERR "$diffgram\n"; print STDERR "================================================ +===================================================================== +==\n"; }

    Well, first of all, I would suggest that you provide valid XML examples instead of 'xmlstring1' and 'xmlstring2'. Once you do that, we will be happy to help you out.
