Hi Monks!
I am trying to compare two text files with a bunch of links in each line, I would like to know what is not on the second file that is on the second file. Print the difference between the two files. I am using this code but It doesn't make sense on the results I’m getting, ma someone has a better way of doing this. Here is the code I am using:

a_file.txt sample:
http://www.ok.com/test_www.pdf       
http://www.ok.com/test_1234.html        
http://www.ok.com/test_part.pdf       
http://www.ok.com/test_345.pdf       
http://www.ok.com/test_error.html
[download]

b_file.txt sample:
http://www.ok.com/test_www.pdf              
http://www.ok.com/test_part.pdf       
http://www.ok.com/test_345.pdf
[download]

 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict; use warnings;

use Text::Diff;

my $diffs = diff 'a_file.txt' => 'b_file.txt';

print $diffs;
