DESCRIPTION
    Diff::LibXDiff is a binding of LibXDiff
    (<http://www.xmailserver.org/xdiff-lib.html>) to Perl via XS

    LibXDiff is the basis of the diff engine for git

METHODS
  $diff = Diff::LibXDiff->diff( $string1, $string2 )
    Calculate the textual diff of $string1 and $string2 and return the
    result as a string

  $patched = Diff::LibXDiff->patch( $original, $patch )
  ( $patched, $rejected ) = Diff::LibXDiff->patch( $original, $patch )
    Calculate the patched string given an original string and a patch string

    If the patching algorithm cannot place a hunk, it will return a second
    "rejected" result (if called in list context)
