+
+NAME
+
+ Array::Compare
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+WHAT IS Array::Compare?
+
+ Array::Compare is a Perl module which allows you to compare two arrays.
+
+ It has a number of features which allow you to control the way that the
+ arrays are compared:
+
+ * white space in array elements can be significant or ignored.
+ * particular columns in the arrays can be ignored.
+
+ Additionally you can get a simple true/false return value or the number
+ of columns which differ or an array containing the indexes of the
+ differing columns.
+
+HOW DO I INSTALL IT?
+
+ Array::Compare uses the standard Perl module architecture and can
+ therefore by installed using the standard Perl method which, in brief,
+ goes something like this:
+
+ gzip -cd Array-Compare-X.XX.tar.gz | tar xvf -
+ cd Array-Compare-X.XX
+ perl Makefile.PL
+ make
+ make test
+ make install
+
+ Where X.XX is the version number of the module which you are installing.
+
+ If this doesn't work for you then creating a directory called Array
+ somewhere in your Perl library path (@INC) and copying the Compare.pm
+ file into this directory should also do the trick.
+
+WHERE IS THE DOCUMENTATION?
+
+ All of the documentation is currently in POD format in the Compare.pm
+ file. If you install the module using the standard method you should be
+ able to read it by typing
+
+ perldoc Array::Compare
+
+ at a comand prompt.
+
+LATEST VERSION
+
+ The latest version of this module will always be available from CPAN.
