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.
