543 <para>Text::Diff is used to perform diffs on files and record sets. It
544 provides a basic set of services akin to the GNU <command>diff</command>
545 utility. It is not anywhere near as feature complete as GNU
546 <command>diff</command>, but it is better integrated with
547 <application>Perl</application> and available on all platforms. Text::Diff
548 is often faster than shelling out to a system's <command>diff</command>
549 executable for small files, and generally slower on larger files. The

615 This module implements the URI class. Objects of this class represent
616 "Uniform Resource Identifier references" as specified in RFC 2396 (and
617 updated by RFC 2732). A Uniform Resource Identifier is a compact string of
618 characters that identifies an abstract or physical resource. A Uniform
619 Resource Identifier can be further classified as either a Uniform Resource
620 Locator (URL) or a Uniform Resource Name (URN). The distinction between
621 URL and URN does not matter to the URI class interface. A "URI-reference"
622 is a URI that may have additional information attached in the form of a
623 fragment identifier. This module uses the standard
624 <xref linkend="perl-standard-install"/>.
