I am trying to test the code and it gives me errors. The errors are "Can't locate Algorithm/Diff.pm in @INC @INC contains...., Begin failed --complication aborted.. Can I open the files and read the lines instead add them to the code? Thanks in advance for looking over my code and giving me guidance.

Install Algorithm::Diff from cpan.
