Re: Reconciling multiple lists (similar to "merge" in CVS?)

I vote diff like module. Also, c, d and e on separate lines is the Right Way IMHO (they aren't the same thing afterall).

It looks helpful, especially the tabular output format. But it only handles two lists at a time. I'm trying to determine how to take DIFF(X,Y), produce two new modified lists, and then do something with those and Z to balance all three.

Text::Diff3, though it's hard to tell from the POD how useful it is. Algorithm::Merge looks promising though. UPDATE: Also, you'll have to bug tye to add diff3 support to Algorithm::Diff, or the Text::Diff author to alternately use Algorithm::Merge. `-- In Bob We Trust, All Others Bring Data.`	[reply]

Well, there could be more than just three lists. There could be a dozen. Jeff `japhy` Pinyan, P.L., P.M., P.O.D, X.S.: Perl, regex, and `perl` hacker How can we ever be the sold short or the cheated, we who for every service have long ago been overpaid? ~~ Meister Eckhart	[reply]
