Wishlist: a spew_on_diff_content() method/feature #200

Closed shlomif closed 6 years ago

Hi!

Here - https://github.com/shlomif/shlomi-fish-homepage/blob/master/lib/Shlomif/Out.pm - I wrote two functions that accept a path object and text, and write the text only if it is different than the current content of the file (to avoid updating the mtime - for make and other build systems). Do you think this use case will make a good new feature for Path-Tiny?

That sounds outside the bounds of Path::Tiny itself, but you could certainly use Path::Tiny as part of an independent CPAN solution. Sounds handy for certain situations.

OK, thanks for letting me know what you think. I'll proceed that way.
