1. The function csv () is streaming! (and well documented as such, see e.g. dumping database tables)

  2. Believe me, I have had the same feeling with file-names as arguments to in and out, and I actually started coding on that, but in the end, you do not want it, as it causes too many undocumantable catch-22's.

    csv (in => csv (in => "a.csv, ...), out => "b.csv") is the best alternative and works quite well

  3. My personal fav use of streaming is csv (in => $fh, out => undef, bom => 1, on_in => sub { ... process %_ ... });. If files are really large, this can be used for streaming file to file too using a second handle.


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
