=head1 NAME
dbrowdiff - compute row-by-row differences of some column
=head1 SYNOPSIS
dbrowdiff [-B|-I|-F] [-A AbsDiffColumnName] [-P PctDiffColumnName] column
=head1 DESCRIPTION
For a given column, compute the differences between each row
of the table. Differences are output to two new columns,
C<absdiff> and C<pctdiff>.
Differences are either relative to the previous column
(I<incremental> mode), or relative to the first row
(I<baseline> mode), the default.
Alternatively, in I<future> mode, differences
are between the I<next> row and the current row.
If column names are given, with C<-A> or C<-P>,
then only columns with that name are produced.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-B> or B<--baseline>
Select baseline mode (the default), where differences are relative to the first row.
=item B<-I> or B<--incremental>
Select incremental mode, where differences are relative to the previous row.
=item B<-F> or B<--future>
Select future incremental mode, where differences are
incremental between the next row and the current one.
=item B<-A> COL or B<--absdiff> COL
Name the absolute difference output column COL,
and don't output percent difference unless C<-P> is given.
=item B<-P> COL or B<--pctdiff> COL
Name the percent difference output column COL,
and don't output absolute difference unless C<-P> is given.
=item B<-f FORMAT> or B<--format FORMAT>
Specify a L<printf(3)>-style format for output statistics.
Defaults to C<%.5g>.
=item B<-e> EmptyValue or B<--empty>
Specify the value for the last row when in future mode.

begin_standard_fsdb_options
This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
=over 4
=item B<-d>
Enable debugging output.
=item B<-i> or B<--input> InputSource
Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or C<-> for standard input,
or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
=item B<-o> or B<--output> OutputDestination
Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or C<-> for standard output,
or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
=item B<--autorun> or B<--noautorun>
By default, programs process automatically,
but Fsdb::Filter objects in Perl do not run until you invoke
the run() method.
The C<--(no)autorun> option controls that behavior within Perl.
=item B<--help>
Show help.
=item B<--man>
Show full manual.

L<dbrowdiff>, L<dbrowuniq>, and L<dbfilediff> are similar but different.
L<dbrowdiff> computes row-by-row differences for a column,
L<dbrowuniq> eliminates rows that have no differences,
and L<dbfilediff> compares fields of two files.
