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".

Algorithm::Diff, Algorithm::LCS.

# 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 );
