Applying patch files using perl?

Question

This should be simple,

Is there a way to apply .patch files using perl?

I am aware I can use system I am looking for a module or something. I have looked on search.cpan.org but I guess I am not typing the right search to get what I want if it exists.

Any help?

Answer 1

I can think of Text::Patch.

You just need to read/write the source/patch files as this module is targeting in-memory text, not simple files.
