138 =head1 NAME
140 File::Compare - Compare files or filehandles
142 =head1 SYNOPSIS
144 use File::Compare;
146 if (compare("file1","file2") == 0) {
147 print "They're equal\n";
150 =head1 DESCRIPTION
152 The File::Compare::compare function compares the contents of two
153 sources, each of which can be a file or a file handle. It is exported
154 from File::Compare by default.
156 File::Compare::cmp is a synonym for File::Compare::compare. It is
157 exported from File::Compare only by request.
159 File::Compare::compare_text does a line by line comparison of the two
160 files. It stops as soon as a difference is detected. compare_text()
161 accepts an optional third argument: This must be a CODE reference to
162 a line comparison function, which returns 0 when both lines are considered
163 equal. For example:
165 compare_text($file1, $file2)
167 is basically equivalent to
169 compare_text($file1, $file2, sub {$_[0] ne $_[1]} )
171 =head1 RETURN
173 File::Compare::compare return 0 if the files are equal, 1 if the
174 files are unequal, or -1 if an error was encountered.
176 =head1 AUTHOR

179 Its original documentation was written by Chip Salzenberg.
