NAME
    App::DualLivedDiff - Diff between the perl core and dual-lived modules'
    CPAN distributions

SYNOPSIS
    Example: Filter::Simple.

    Given a simple YAML file .dualLivedDiffConfig in the current working
    directory or the Filter::Simple CPAN distribution:

      ---
      exclude-regexes:
        - ^(?:\./)?MANIFEST$
        - ^(?:\./)?META.yml$
      files:
        lib/Filter/Simple.pm: lib/Filter/Simple.pm
        Changes: lib/Filter/Simple/Changes
      dirs-flat:
        t/: lib/Filter/Simple/t/
      dirs-recursive:
        t/lib/Filter/Simple/: t/lib/Filter/Simple/

    By running the following command, you can get the diff between your
    blead perl checkout and the CPAN distribution:

      dualLivedDiff --dual http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SM/SMUELLER/Filter-Simple-0.84.tar.gz --blead $HOME/perl-ssh

    Or this if you have CPAN.pm configured:

      dualLivedDiff --dual SMUELLER/Filter-Simple-0.84.tar.gz --blead $HOME/perl-ssh

    Or this if you want to search for a given module name:

      dualLivedDiff --dual Filter::Simple --blead $HOME/perl-ssh

    You can use the "base-path-in-blead" option in the YAML config file to
    set a base path within the blead-perl checkout. Example of the
    configuration for the Attribute::Handlers dual-lived module/distribution
    which lives entirely within ext/Attribute-Handlers:

      ---
      base-path-in-blead: ext/Attribute-Handlers
      files:
        Changes: Changes
        README: README
      dirs-recursive:
        lib/: lib/
        t/: t/
        demo/: demo/

    Run the "dualLivedDiff" program to get an overview of the command line
    options.

DESCRIPTION
    Very early version of a tool to automatically generate diffs/patches
    between CPAN distributions of dual lived Perl modules and the perl core.
    The code isn't beautiful. It's a hack.

  - Option to ignore whitespace.

1.06  Mon Mar 16 13:12 2009
  - Explicitly mapped files trump the exclusion regexps.
  - config subdirectory ships with many file mappings
    between blead and CPAN
  - config subdirectory also contains tools to run in
    batch mode and generate HTML reports

1.05  Wed Mar 11 18:15 2009
  - '--paths=blead' / '--paths=dual' option to manually set the
    paths shown in the diff.
  - "exclude-regexes" option in the YAML config file
    (an array of regexes matched against source files)

1.04  Tue Mar 10 10:20 2009
  - Fix path correction brain fart.

1.03  Sun Mar  8 13:08 2009
  - Fix the path munging of the diffs.
  - Work around what seems to be a slight bug in CPAN.pm's
    expand("Distribution, ...) to make expansion of dev
    releases on CPAN work.

1.02  Sat Mar  7 19:32 2009
  - Default to using the current directory as distribution directory.

1.01  Sat Mar  7 18:34 2009
  - Support for base-paths in bleadperl

1.00  Fri Mar  6 19:45 2009
  - Initial baby steps.
