Hello monks:

This is the first time I've used DBD::AnyData, and I've run into a problem, I hope there's a way around it. I've tried this with tab-delimited files and with CSVs.

I have rows of data like so:
name1,value1,status1,info1 info2 info3,more stuff
name2,value1,status1,info4 <newline><newline> info5,more stuff

[download]
My query stops as soon as it sees the "\n\n", and I want it to keep going to the end of the file.

I *think* I could normalize the data by replacing the "\n\n" values with <space>, or hack around with the value of $/, or something like that, but I wondered if there was something in the DBI bag that would help.

Any suggestions would be welcome.
