Dear,
I need your help about procedure to create a patch for a CPAN module.
I want to propose a new method to a module on CPAN. I have created
this method and I have added it in the script .pm on my PC and it is
work fine.
I have send an email to the author of the module, but he ask me to
send a patch.
Can you explain me what I have to do. What is patch. Have I to install
a CPAN module to create this patch ?
Thank you for your help.

Run "diff" against the original and modified versions of the module.
Email diff's output to the module author.

Thank you.
I have updated the module (new method, pod) and created a patch for
the author and new .t file.
Best Regards,
