=head1 NAME

Algorithm::DiffOld - Compute `intelligent' differences between two files / lists
but use the old (<=0.59) interface.

=head1 NOTE

This has been provided as part of the Algorithm::Diff package by Ned Konz.
This particular module is B<ONLY> for people who B<HAVE> to have the old
interface, which uses a comparison function rather than a key generating
function.

Because each of the lines in one array have to be compared with each 
of the lines in the other array, this does M*N comparisons. This can
be very slow. I clocked it at taking 18 times as long as the stock
version of Algorithm::Diff for a 4000-line file. It will get worse
quadratically as array sizes increase.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use Algorithm::DiffOld qw(diff LCS traverse_sequences);

@lcs    = LCS( \@seq1, \@seq2, $comparison_function );

$lcsref = LCS( \@seq1, \@seq2, $comparison_function );

@diffs = diff( \@seq1, \@seq2, $comparison_function );
  
  traverse_sequences( \@seq1, \@seq2,
                     { MATCH => $callback,
                       DISCARD_A => $callback,
                       DISCARD_B => $callback,
                     },
                     $comparison_function );

=head1 COMPARISON FUNCTIONS

Each of the main routines should be passed a comparison function. If you
aren't passing one in, B<use Algorithm::Diff instead>.

These functions should return a true value when two items should compare
as equal.

For instance,

@lcs    = LCS( \@seq1, \@seq2, sub { my ($a, $b) = @_; $a eq $b } );

but if that is all you're doing with your comparison function, just use
Algorithm::Diff and let it do this (this is its default).

Or:

sub someFunkyComparisonFunction
  {
  	my ($a, $b) = @_;
	$a =~ m{$b};
  }

@diffs = diff( \@lines, \@patterns, \&someFunkyComparisonFunction );

which would allow you to diff an array @lines which consists of text
lines with an array @patterns which consists of regular expressions.

This is actually the reason I wrote this version -- there is no way
to do this with a key generation function as in the stock Algorithm::Diff.

# Find the place at which aValue would normally be inserted into the array. If
# that place is already occupied by aValue, do nothing, and return undef. If
# the place does not exist (i.e., it is off the end of the array), add it to
# the end, otherwise replace the element at that point with aValue.
# It is assumed that the array's values are numeric.
# This is where the bulk (75%) of the time is spent in this module, so try to
# make it fast!
