my $usage = << "ENDUSAGE";
Usage: $0 [{-c | -C lines -e | -f | -u | -U lines}] oldfile newfile
-c do a context diff with 3 lines of context
-C do a context diff with 'lines' lines of context (implies -c)
-e create a script for the ed editor to change oldfile to newfile
-f like -e but in reverse order
-u do a unified diff with 3 lines of context
-U do a unified diff with 'lines' lines of context (implies -u)
-q report only whether or not the files differ
By default it will do an "old-style" diff, with output like UNIX diff

Diff is not a Perl command; however, there is a diff (note the
lowercase d) in UNIX. If you are having problems with UNIX commands
you should ask your questions in a UNIX forum. You can run external
commands (like diff) from inside of Perl in a number of ways. The
ways most likely to be useful are qx// and open:
my @output = qx/diff /tmp/dev_path_PRS.DB.01.12.000
/tmp/dep_path_D.PRS.DB.01.12.000.8/;
or
open my $fh, "-|", "diff /tmp/dev_path_PRS.DB.01.12.000
/tmp/dep_path_D.PRS.DB.01.12.000.8/"
or die "could not execute diff: $!";
while (<$fh>) {
#do something with a line from the output of diff
}
