Patch for 5.x

Sorry, I'm slow, how do I "use" this patch? I have the 4.7 module installed in my 5.0 and it don't work. What do I do with your patch to take advantage of your work?

Looks like it could be a regular "patch" file, which in that case you would copy the patch file to the parent directory of the module and run the "patch" command, which is typically installed on *nix platforms. Read the man page for patch.

By looking at the comments, it looks like it might work in Eclipse as well. I'm not familiar with Eclipse to say one way or the other.

Lastly, you could try to implement the changes yourself.
The diff output isn't too hard to read. Any line that starts with a '-' sign is to be deleted, and any line that begins with a '+' sign is to be added.
Make sure you have backup copies of the files involved before you go messing about in this manner.

this patch seems to work for me.
I did not have googleverify installed previously.
I downloaded the package and ran "patch < '_patch_file' "
It looks like the patch file expects the files to be under the path modules/googleverify so you should download the tar.gz file and install in under sites/all/modules (for v5)
Then change to the sites/all folder and run "patch < gogleverify-5.x.patch"
This should do it.

Please note -the author has left our a 'g' in the filename of the patch file.

Also note that in order to set this you should navigate to the "home >> administer" tab and then select the "By Module" tab. Scroll down to the GoogleVerify section and click the link.
As far as I can tell, you just have to set the first field. I don't know what the second field does.

This module has been officially marked as abandoned. Please use the Site verification module which is currently maintained and works for other search engines besides Google. The issue queues are now being closed as well. I will be working to add Drupal 5 support to the site verification module shortly.
