That won't work with rows containing new-lines, which is very common in CSV data. Text::CSV_XS handles this when given the binary option.

    Although in that case OP is pretty stuffed in any case. He would almost have to write a replacement for CVS_XS to deal with the problem - no fun at all!

      Well, that's the case we're in (I work with friedo). If nothing else will work we can just use mac2unix if a scan of the first part of the file sees \r's and no \n's. It's a nasty hack but much better than reimplementing Text::CSV_XS!

        In that case it looks like hack it must be. :(
