in reply to Re^2: Extracting data from CSV file
in thread Extracting data from CSV file + Extracting selected few lines through perl

I kinda agree with your disagreement, but then, on the other hand, not so much. I tried to qualify my post ("Not directly related to your OPed question, but if you're doing a lot of CSV file parsing...") to make it clear that what I had in mind was more like using a 30-ton truck to deliver a 30-ton load.

And then there are also Tux's well-founded points (++).

    Quite possibly I slightly misinterpreted your post and overreacted to it, sorry for that, but also I duly qualified my own post, saying that I understood what you were saying, that I "somewhat" diasgreed and noting that the CSV modules are really the solution when it gets more complicated. We've taken slightly different points of emphasis, but I am pretty much convinced that we think almost identically on the deeper subject.

      Let us agree to agree.
