Re: How to parse a tab delimited file

All of the modules I've seen mentioned so far would work, but as I've just solved this same problem (multiple delimiters for different files that must go through the same code), I will offer this: Text::xSV benchmarked much faster than anything other than Text::CSV_XS -- and it was close between them. The latter, however, isn't available through ASPN, so not so good for ActivePerl/Windows users.
