SPUG: "diff" utility within Perl

Does anyone know of if a "diff" like module exists within
Perl?? I have script that uses "-s" to do simple diff,
but I've found that the files are same size BUT different
in content (single char in date 5 vs 6). I'd like to
use some kina "diff" utlity to verify if indeed the two files
are identical of not (don't need to know the difference, 
just that they exist is good enought) If no module exists
does anyone have utility that would work???

Thanks!!
