tool to check difference betwen two perl codes

[lindajames]

hi,

i paid a programmer to make some adjustments to my perl code. But since my perl code is very long i cannot spot the differences. I've been told that there are programs out there that compares the two files and gives you the difference between the two.

does anyone know of such a program and where i can get it from?

cheers

I use textpad.

do you have access to a *nix machine or one with a ported version of diff? this is what diff was made for...

I like to use edit Pad Pro, it's user friendly and doesn't corrupt code.

I was turned onto slick edit [slickedit.com] by a programmer I know.

A bit pricey but they have a free trial which should last long enough for what you want to do.

Pretty fast and gives a nice side by side comparison.

I've found Araxis' "Merge" very good. It is Windows based. If you are on Unix machine, you could try tkdiff or there is an opensource project called arch (search for "srparish arch"). Alternatively just find a Windows machine for a half an hour ;) as this is much easier than diff

Just a 'me too' vote for Araxis Merge.
