in reply to Is there a well known module or simple algorithm for applying a diff?
I'm not sure how different the "(almost) unified diffs" are from regular unified diffs, but you might have some luck with VCP::Patch (alt.), which shares the same author as Text::Diff (alt.).
There's also a pure Perl implementation of patch available off the ultra-groovy Perl Power Tools site.
--k.
