100; .Ve .PP When the compared strings begin to differ after a large prefix, Test::LongString will not print them from the beginning, but will start at the middle, more precisely at \f(CW$Test::LongString::Context\fR characters before the first difference. By default this value is 10 characters. If you want Test::LongString to always print the beginning of compared strings no matter where they differ, undefine \f(CW$Test::LongString::Context\fR. .PP When computing line numbers this module uses "\en" to count line endings. This may not be appropriate for strings on your platform, and can be overridden by setting the \f(CW$Test::LongString::EOL\fR variable to a suitable regular expression (either a reference to a regular expression or a string that can be interpolated into a regular expression.) .PP You can also set it by specifying an argument to \f(CW\*(C`use\*(C'\fR: .PP .Vb 1 \& use Test::LongString eol => "\ex{0a}\ex{0c}"; .Ve .SH AUTHOR .IX Header "AUTHOR" Written by Rafael Garcia-Suarez.
