It could be that it exists. Maybe not in the exact form you're imagining, but ... I found these: colordiff, a Perl script to colorize diff output (but in ANSI console) Convert diff output to colorized HTML, a bash script As for namespace, I'd think in the direction of "Text::Diff::Colorized::HTML", which is quite a mouthful.

I am actually using the code at your #2 in a pipeline. That is going to be my jumping off point for he module. I'll check out colordiff also. Thanks.	[reply]

Already produced diff, you mean a patch file? https://metacpan.org/search?q=syntax+highlight+diff Text::Highlight has no .diff/.patch support , but these say they do Syntax::Highlight::Universal Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate::Diff this one I know does :) Text::VimColor - Syntax highlight text using Vim	[reply]

Yes, I have a unified diff comming out of svn and I want to convert that to html. All of the modules I saw would have been perfect IF they let me plug in my own diff command. But they were all set up to actually do the diff themselves. Ill check the Syntax::Highlight* modules. Thanks.	[reply]

If you have an idea for a module, would like criticisms or namespace suggestions you could try http://prepan.org - I think it's still in its infancy, but I like the idea of it. It does what it says on the tin: prepan it, before you CPAN it. I should trademark that..	[reply]
