Win has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Monks,

Is : Text-xSV-0.2 > Text::xSV still the module to go for when working with csv files?

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    I would say so, but then again I would, since I use no other ... by choice. It also has the advantage of having the flexibility to handle a file containing any char delimited fields whilst keeping the same interface.

    A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
      Bloodnok,
      It also has the advantage of having the flexibility to handle a file containing any char delimited fields whilst keeping the same interface.

      Advantage over what? Win was asking about 2 different versions of the same module. Are you saying that one version of Text::xSV doesn't support any char delimiter or that it changed interfaces? Perhaps you were implying it were superior to a different module all together - if so, I would be interested in knowing which one(s). There is a lot of FUD out there about Text::CSV for instance.
