I usually just run `xmllint --c14n "$xml" \| xmllint --format -` [download] on both files and use standard diff on the results. But it really depends on the type of XML files and typical changes that occur in them.	[reply] [d/l]

Using XML::Compare: `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use XML::Compare tests => 2; my $xml1 = '<xml><abc> abcd </abc></xml>'; my $xml2 = '<xml><abc> abcd e </abc></xml>'; my $same = eval { XML::Compare::same( $xml1, $xml2 ); }; if ($same) { print "same" ; } else { print "different: $@"; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
