in reply to Reading and writing CSV

Whilst you *can* use DBI to look at CSV files with the DBD::CSV driver, you're probably better off just using the Text::CSV (pure-perl) or Text::CSV_XS (perl and C) module. Try the C version first, cos it's faster, but if you're programming on Windows you might have to use the pure perl version.

    Text::CSV_XS is available via PPM compiled for ActivePerl. Run 

    ppm install Text-CSV_XS

    [download]
    and off you go :-)

      Ah, I thought PPM still relied on having a C compiler, but just put modules into Windows' database so you could easily uninstall them or sumfink. That's useful to know, thanks.
