Re^3: Double quotes in CSV using Text::CSV

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).

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

A primitive type system on top of CSV Unquoted numbers represent numbers, quoted numbers are just strings (as in JSON).
