Issue with module Text::CSV

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

HI, I'm working on a program to convert CSV data or a comma delimited text file to Excel. The program i am using requires the Text::CSV_XS module to parse the CSV data. just wondering if any of you got this error before "Can't locate loadable object for module Text::CSV_XS in @INC.......... although I have loaded the CSV_XS package in the correct directory. I noticed on the 5th line of the package it says "require 5.004;" I am wondering if this is where the problem lies. The server is running perl 5.6.1 at the moment. Any help grately appreciated. Ron

Have you loaded the module or installed it? This module can't be just copied to the right directory, it needs to compile some C code... The "require 5.004" means that perl version should be at least 5.004, so your version is fine. Ciao, Valerio	[reply]

You could just use tillys Text::xSV instead. Its pure perl so it'll be a touch slower, but its more powerful, and should run fine under your version. --- demerphq my friends call me, usually because I'm late....	[reply]
