rgiskard,
I did not know about Text::WordDiff module, but I just installed it and tried it.
The module does a great job identifying the differences of the two strings. However, the module seems to be lacking some functionality in regard to my specific problem
Problems:
- the result generated by the module is a single string color coded of the combined two strings => I need two strings (original strings) but with new/changed words tagged (see example in original posting).
- I did not find a functionality in the module to give me an indication if a certain word is new or it just changed its position in the string.
However, I will take a look in the module's source code, I might get an idea about their algorithm
Thanks a lot

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
