Why not use Text::xSV ?

Using it would have additional benefit of simplifying your code :D

    what would this do if a line did not contain a complete record? I am looking at text xSV but I am not sure how to use it. I find the usage examples very confusing for some of these modules. I read it I just don't understand what it means.

      It's behaviour is, AFAIR, configurable, but by default I think (and perldoc suggests that) it confesses.

      Thus you can either override the default error handling behaviour or possibly use eval (or more elegantly, but less acceptably, Error) to catch the error and process accordingly.
