Hmm... That's odd. This is an existing Perl program that is using DBD::CSV and was working fine for months until last week. The user brought up the web-based upload form, uploaded their CSV file (exported from FoxPro), and got 0 records imported. We looked at the file they were uploading and discovered there were a few records that had embedded CR-LFs. Adding a regex to pre-process the uploaded file and remove the embedded CR-LFs solved the problem and allowed DBD::CSV to process the file.

If DBD::CSV can already handle that on its own, then I'm mystified as to why our regex would solve the problem. It looks like we'll need to investigate further. We'll double-check things on Monday to make sure we got the results we thought and will get back you. Thanks!
