in reply to Escaping data for CSV files

A follow-up:

How do you handle newlines & spaces? I was thinking of placing each new entry on a new line in the file. Is the replace any type/amount of whitespace with a single space the best approach? thanks.

    There are a whole lot of modules to be found on CPAN if you search for "CSV". One of these is nearly guaranteed to fit your bill.
