Oh enlightned ones,

I get the following error:

Can't locate object method "new" via package "Algorithm::Diff" at diff.pl line 25.
I am using Perl 5.8.4 on XP. My code is 

require Algorithm::Diff;

my $file_old = "file1.log";
my $file_new = "file2.log";

open ( F1, $file_old ) or die "Can't open $file_old : $!\n";
open ( F2, $file_new ) or die "Can't open $file_new : $!\n";

my @seq1 = <F1>;
my @seq2 = <F2>;
   
close ( F1 );
close ( F2 );
 
my $diff = Algorithm::Diff->new( \@seq1, \@seq2 );

$diff->Base( 1 );   # Return line numbers, not indices

I also tried changing it to 'use Algorithm::Diff'. What can be the cause of the error? Thanks in advance.
