i looked up both of those modules, but the server i'm working on doesn't have them, and it's next to impossible to get anything added, so it's a moot point. but the Text::CSV looked like it might have helped. thanks!

(bbfu) Can't install Text::CSV (was: Tie::RefHash)

    Well, I'm not totally sure about this so don't get mad if I'm wrong. ;)

    You say you have a hard time getting modules installed at the site your on, but do you have a write access to a local (user) directory? If so, you might be able to install the module (Text::CSV) into that local directory and then modify the @INC in your program via use lib.

    I know for sure that there are one or two modules that require some other things to be installed in specific places or to have some C programs compiled but I don't think Text::CSV is one of them. You'll have to look at the documentation or try installing it to be sure.

    I like to put the module in the same directory as the script, and then in the script's code add the lines:

    use lib '.'; use Text::CSV;

    Of course, you should note that for a module like Text::CSV, you'll have to create a subdirectory named Text and put the module file (named CSV.pm) in it (standard convention, of course) but the install should do that for you.

    Anyway, I hope this helps!
