in reply to Low-threshold function in Text::CSV_XS

but should it be auto-exported?

Put it in @EXPORT_OK not in @EXPORT. Don't encourage non-self-documenting imports. It isn't a burden to type use Text::CSV_XS 'csv2list'; and the clarity provided to the next person reading the code is well worth it.

    It isn't a burden to type use Text::CSV_XS 'csv2list';

    Except for when using one liners. This:

    perl -MText::CSV -E"csv2list(...)"

    [download]

    Is nicer than:

    perl -MText::CSV=cvs2list -E"csv2list(...)"

    [download]

    (But then, I'd name the function just csv(). )

      See App::CCSV for oneliners ... although it could use some help with interface (it should come with existing configs)

        This is not for applications or command-line-utilities. Text::CSV_XS already comes with examples and Spreadsheet::Read comes with xlscat which already fills the CL util gap. That is not my aim for now (though it can make CLI tools quite a lot easier when done right).
