clint,
I understand your concern for wanting to have something that "just works" no matter where you install it. I assume this means you are already aware of the various traceroute and diff modules. Unfortunately, you have assumed that library dependencies are the only thing you need to be concerned about. Are all the machines running the exact same OS with the exact same version of Perl with the exact same port of traceroute and diff? Regardless of the answer, it would helpful to see a sample output.

I can show you code of how I would do it on my work machine which would likely differ a bit on how I would do it at home and neither may work for you.

Cheers - L~R
