NAME
Hash::Diff - Return difference between two hashes as a hash
SYNOPSIS
use Hash::Diff qw( diff ); my %a = ( 'foo' => 1, 'bar' => { a => 1, b => 1 }, ); my %b = ( 'foo' => 2, 'bar' => { a => 1 }, ); my %c = %{ diff( \%a, \%b ) }; # %c = %{ foo => 1, bar => { b => 1} }
DESCRIPTION
Hash::Diff returns the difference between two hashes as a hash. diff ( <hashref>, <hashref> ) Diffs two hashes. Returns a reference to the new hash. left_diff ( <hashref>, <hashref> ) Returns the values in the left hash that is not, or different from the right hash.
CAVEATS
This will not handle self-referencing/recursion within hashes well. This will only handle HASH and SCALAR. Plans for a future version include incorporate deep recursion protection. And support for ARRAY.
