Greetings, everyone: I'm running into a strange (to me) behavior of Text::CSV_XS (1.38, running on 5.10), and I'm unsure how to canonically handle it. When using strict mode of Text::CSV_XS, e.g:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Text::CSV_XS; my $file = $ARGV[0]; my $xs = Text::CSV_XS->new({'strict' => 1,'auto_diag' => 2}); open(my $handle,$file); $xs->column_names(['one','two','three']); while(my $line = $xs->getline($handle)) { print Dumper($line)."\r\n"; } close($handle);
With the following CSV file:
$ cat test.csv this,is,a test,of,the csv,parser,logic
I receive the following output:
$ ./csv_test.pl test.csv $VAR1 = [ 'this', 'is', 'a' ]; $VAR1 = [ 'test', 'of', 'the' ]; $VAR1 = [ 'csv', 'parser', 'logic' ]; # CSV_XS ERROR: 2014 - ENF - Inconsistent number of fields @ rec 4 pos + 1
where rec 4 is a non-existent line below "csv,parser,logic". There are no extraneous line breaks, or extra line endings. My expectation would be that EOF would skip the strictness check, but this does not appear to be the case. This does not occur without the strict option enabled. Is there a canonical approach recommended for using strict => 1 in the manner outlined above? Thanks in advance.
