All the Perl that's Practical to Extract and Report

Ever wanted a diff on search.cpan.org?

I have. A while back I wrote to Graham Barr about it and asked if he'd be interested in some code to add a diff feature to search.cpan.org. Today I hacked out a rough demo version. Check it out:

Suggestions for improvements would be appreciated. You can find the code here if you want to see the gritty bits. Be aware though, this is not finished code.

It might be good to not generate all the diffs
at once. But just make the results page a
navigable tree.

Nicely done :-)
