works in cases where the second two break

Text::xSV is an excellent module and handles more than Text::CSV but I wish you and dragonchild would quit spreading FUD about Text::CSV_XS. It has an much uglier interface than xSV and xSV does things not related to the actual parsing that CSV_XS does not do (and likewise Text::CSV_XS does non-parsing things that xSV does not). But when it comes to actually parsing CSV, the two modules are equivaqlent in what they can handle except for a few very unusual edge cases that CSV_XS handles that xSV does not. If you can find some text that works with xSV and does not work with CSV_XS, post it. Otherwise, refer to Benchmark comparison of Text::xSV and Text::CSV_XS and Comparison of the parsing features of CSV (and xSV) modules. If you like Text::xSV, great, recommend it to everyone on the planet (I often do), but there's no need to denigrate other modules because you've found one you like.
