NAME
Algorithm::Diff::XS - Algorithm::Diff with XS core loop
SYNOPSIS
# Drop-in replacement to Algorithm::Diff, but "compact_diff"
# and C<LCSidx> will run much faster for large data sets.
use Algorithm::Diff::XS qw( compact_diff LCSidx );
DESCRIPTION
This module is a simple re-packaging of Joe Schaefer's excellent but
not very well-known Algorithm::LCS with a drop-in interface that simply
re-uses the installed version of the Algorithm::Diff module.
Note that only the "LCSidx" function is optimized in XS at the moment,
which means only "compact_diff" will get significantly faster for large
data sets, while "diff" and "sdiff" will run in identical speed as
"Algorithm::Diff".
