in thread Benchmark comparison of Text::xSV and Text::CSV_XS

I'd like to note that the open ..., "<", \ EXPR syntax is a shortcut for open ..., "<:scalar", \ EXPR. I found out once that if you specify any sort of PerlIO layer in the open-type format, you also have to explicitly use the long form otherwise you end up attempting to work with a file named "SCALAR(0x....)" instead of an in-memory file.

# Ok
open ..., "<", \ $content
open ..., "<:scalar", \ $content
open ..., "<:scalar:crlf", \ $content

# Not ok
open ..., "<:crlf", \ $content
