+This module is a wrapper around the diff algorithm from the module
+Algorithm::Diff. It's job is to simplify a visualization of the differences of
+each strings. 
+
+Compared to the many other Diff modules, the output is neither in diff-style
+nor are the recognised differences on line or word boundaries, they are at
+character level.
