Description: module for comparing two HTML documents
HTML::Diff compares two strings of HTML and returns a list of a chunks which
indicate the diff between the two input strings, where changes in formatting
are considered changes.
.
HTML::Diff does not strictly parse the HTML. Instead, it uses regular
expressions to make a decent effort at understanding the given HTML. As a
result, there are many valid HTML documents for which it will not produce the
correct answer. But there may be some invalid HTML documents for which it
gives you the answer you're looking for. Your mileage may vary; test it on
lots of inputs from your domain before relying on it.
