NAME

LRpt::CSVEADiff - A module for comparing a set of csv files with expectations

SYNOPSIS

  lcsveadiff.pl --keys_file=keys.txt --cmp_rules=cmp_rules.xml

DESCRIPTION

This module is a part of LRpt (LReport) library. It is used to compare set of csv files with expectations and report found differences. You should not use LRpt::CSVEADiff module directly in your code. Instead you should use lcsveadiff.pl tool, which is a simple wrapper around the module. lcsveadiff.pl looks like this:

  use strict;
  use LRpt::CSVEADiff;
  
  ea_diff( @ARGV );
