in reply to ParseCSV

How does your code differ from Text::xSV? Would it be possible to write your module based on Text::xSV, possible subclassing it?

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

    Good call. I don't think this module was in CPAN when I started mine. It looks the author of Text::xSV found the same problem with Text::CSV and took a pretty similar approach. I think that if all you ever want to do in your life is parse CSV files (I could extend it to any character I suppose), that mine is a lot simpler. xSV looks pretty sophisticated and if it beats mine for performance (seems likely) then I will give up :(
