I don't think this is possible with Text::CSV or Text::CSV_PP. The documentation of Text::CSV hints at maybe using `->is_quoted` or the metadata information, but at least the implementation in Text::CSV_PP does not so any conditional quoting.	[reply] [d/l]

That wasn't too difficult. See this commit. It will be available in version Text::CSV_XS version 1.18, but you can get it from github already. `$ perl -Mblib -MText::CSV_XS \ ? -E'my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new ({ quote_empty => 1 });' \ ? -E'$csv->combine (1, undef, "", " ", 2);' \ ? -E'say $csv->string' 1,,""," ",2` [download] update I forgot I already implemented this in the perl6 version Text::CSV.

Your original post did not specify that. Please see I know what I mean. Why don't you? and How do I post a question effectively? Could you please show some sample input and output that is representative of what you are trying to print? Otherwise, we're just guessing at the correct answer. `use Text::CSV; my $csv = Text::CSV->new({binary=>1,eol=>$/, quote_char=>undef,escape_char=>undef}); $csv->print(\*STDOUT, ["1","2",'""']); __END__ 1,2,""` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

quote_char=>undef,escape_char=>undef helps Thanks	[reply]

WHY? Why can `1` and `2` not be quoted? I could add `quote_empty => 1` to Text::CSV_XS, but you've shown me no good reason so far. `"1","2",""` is just as valid CSV as `1,2,""` and `1,2,` are and on parsing they'll all yield the same data (unless parsing options cause different rules).

Two ideas: Saving bytes Yes, despite having Gigabit networks and Terabyte harddisks, some people discuss every single byte. A primitive type system on top of CSV Unquoted numbers represent numbers, quoted numbers are just strings (as in JSON).
