Nice one and thanks. I'm sure I'll find this useful.

BTW, on line 21 I had to add an argument to Term::Realine's constructor to make it work here - I just passed $0. According to http://search.cpan.org/~flora/perl-5.14.2/lib/Term/ReadLine.pm the constructor takes a string.

You also need a newish Text::CSV or you won't have getline_all (I had 1.17 and that did not have it).

Lastly, I notice the table name is optional and if I have a csv file called xxx.csv only containing something like

1,fred
2,dave
3,john

you seem to have to name the table or you get:

sdb> load xxx.csv
DBD::SQLite::db prepare failed: unknown database xxx at /home/martin/b
+in/scratch_db.pl line 56, <$fh> line 3.
Can't call method "execute" on an undefined value at /home/martin/bin/
+scratch_db.pl line 56, <$fh> line 3.
