I tried as you suggested.

If I use DBD::CSV without DBD::AnyData it works great, when I use DBD::AnyData and pass the eol and field separator character through it dies with the messages in the original message.

I am running ActivePerl 5.8 on Windows using Komodo 3.5 to do the development and debugging.

As I run the debugger, I find that as the code moves from DBD::AnyData to DBD::CSV, CSV parses the first record correctly but for some reason as the code jumps back to DBD::AnyData, AnyData does not see the parsed record and dies with the messages in the original message.

Being a novice not sure why or whatelse to look for but it is interesting your code works and mine does not. One other thing I found is my records are terminated with CRLF which I was able to pass to DBD::AnyData and parse the records fine and with DBD::CSV I use just the \n and it parses the records fine while if I pass DBD::AnyData just the \n it does not parse the records at all.

Sorry this is so long wind and may be rambling but I am trying my best to provide reasonably good information to help.

Thanks
Mike
