Hi all:

This newbie would like to compare two files, let's say File1 and File2.   I
want to put the difference from File2 only,  into a new file, File3.

For example:

File1.txt
oranges
apples
bananas

File2.txt
apples
kiwi
bananas

The result I want for File3 is the new entry in File2, which is kiwi.  (I
don't care that oranges was in File1 and not File2.)

Can the Text:Diff module (or some other means) do this ?  (I looked at the
Text::Diff doc and it wasn't obvious to me.  I hope to play with this later
this evening or tomorrow.)

Thanks in advance for your help (and for your past help as well !)

- Stuart
