Sounds neat except ... what has got the example to do with CSV? It looks like either fixed position records or (though trying to select the spaces between the names and numbers disproves that) tab separated. With a fairly strange twist of using the first column as a grouping key.

From Tie::File::AnyData::CSV I would expect to get a tied array of arrays or array of hashes that'd let me access the individual items in the rows. And hopefully the ability to include the record separator within quoted data. Please find a better name for that format.
