Dear Monks, I want to create a CSV File using Text::CSV. I was able to do the thing by hand but I would like to create it using the module.

I have this:

my @AoA= (['a', 'b'],
          ['c', 'd'],
          ...
          and so on);

my $csv = Text::CSV->new ( { binary => 1 } );
open my $fh, ">", "new.text";
 $csv->print ($fh, $_) for @AoA;
 
 close $fh;

I got the following input:

a,b,c,d,e,f....etc.

I was hoping something like this:

a,b

c,d

e,f

etc...

When i use the Text::Table module, I pass to the load function the @AoA array, and I got a nice table. But with the Text::CSV module doesn't work.

I read the Text::CSV doc and It says I need to pass an array reference to the print function. But if I do that I got this:

my @AoA= (['a', 'b'],
          ['c', 'd'],
          ...
          and so on);
my $aref = \@AoA;

my $csv = Text::CSV->new ( { binary => 1 } );
              
open my $fh, ">", "new.text";
 $csv->print ($fh, $aref) for @AoA;
$csv->print ($fh, $aref);#tried this too.
 
 close $fh

What I am doing wrong?

Thanks for your help!
