Patches

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there are perl modules for applying patches?

I have seen on many lists that are provided some patches for some perl
modules, and probably they can be applied automaticly under Unix using
"patch" for .dif files, but I cannot do this under Windows.

So, are there any perl modules that can do this job under Windows?
(Because otherwise I have to do it manually and it is not very easy).

Thank you.

You can get a port of patch and diffutils from from the GnuWin32
project[1]. There is also WinMerge[2].
