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

I'd rather like a function like this:

my $CSV = openCsv (file => "file.csv", headers => "auto");
while (my $row = <$CSV>) {
  print "$row->{Foo} has $row->{Bar} bar(s)\n";
}

There is nothing preventing READLINE() of a tied handle from returning an array or hash reference.

    I understand the request, but I see this syntax as too conflicting with the existing syntax.

    IF a function like that is to return an object of any kind, it would be a Text::CSV_XS object, more like this:

    my $csv = openCsv (file => "file.csv", headers => "auto");
while (my $row = $csv->getline) { # note the missing $io
    say $row->{Foo};
    }

    This fits nicely in the rest of the code and documentation and I will consider something like this (no promises).


    Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
