Overview

Presents in a (nice?) HTML table the difference between two files or strings. Inspired on GitHub diff view.

Subroutines

diff_files

   my $html = diff_files("filename1", "filename2");

"diff_files" and "diff_strings" support a first optional argument (an hash reference) where options can be set.

Valid options are:

`"vertical"`	Can be set to a true value, for a more compact table.
`"limit_onesided"`	Makes tables look nicer when there is a side with too many new lines.

diff_strings

   my $html = diff_strings("string1", "string2");

Compare strings. First split by newline, and then treat them as file content (see function above).

diff_css

   my $css = diff_css;

Return the default css. You are invited to override it.
