Brethren! =)
I'm confronted with the task to merge two versions of the same Module which spread apart a year ago.
Unfortunately winmerge is highlighting 90% differences ...
- Partly because random comments were replaced with POD.
- Partly b/c POD was used to comment out code.
- Partly because the order of methods was changed.
My plan is now to extract all comments and POD , to normalize the code ( Perl::Tidy ) and to rearrange the methods (with hints to the original position, probably using B::Xref ).
Finally I want to analyse the differences of the resulting code to track conflicts.
Before I reinvent the wheel, are there recommended tools specialized on Perl to help me do what I plan?
TIA!

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
