You piqued my curiosity. I'm presuming what you meant is that they have a standard predefined set of test files to run code changes against. I see references in the code to test.csv and test.txt, but I don't see links to those files anywhere to look inside and presumably have my face twist in horror (I'm glad I was never dumb enough to try to deal with CSV files myself btw).

I have come to the conclusion that I'd like to start learning and using the Perl DBI if I can find some free time at work to do so. Not just to do the types of things I'm already doing in tab delimited files, but if I could actually talk my company's admins in to giving me direct read access to our Oracle database I feel like I could suddenly have a lot more power to do useful things. As it is, I suffer from having to output multiple flat files from our web form based database inquiry tool we pay for and then having to parse and cross reference the data in those files myself using Perl... which is why I learned and learned to love Perl in the first place actually
