in reply to Appending single record to CSV (or TDV, not too late to switch) - filling 13 fields from 13 files, one of which is split into array of 2 and I just need half of it...

Currently the de-facto CSV parsing (and generating) modules on CPAN are Text::CSV_XS and Text::CSV. The latter will use the first if installed. The XS version is up to 100 times as fast. YMMV.

Be prepared to read a lot of documentation if you've never worked with it. It starts very simple, but hairy CSV files can make you need a lot of options.


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
