1.00 Tue Jun 19 16:30:45 2007
- Original version
- Points of interest:
o Text::CSV_PP::Iterator reads the file for you, using Iterator::IO.
Warning: Iterator::IO V 0.02 has 3 bugs in it, where it does not
call throw() properly. I've reported this via http://rt.cpan.org
o All of Text::CSV_PP's new() parameters are supported by the fact
that Text::CSV_PP::Iterator subclasses Text::CSV_PP
o All data is returned as a hashref just like DBI's fetchrow_hashref(),
using Text::CSV_PP::Iterator's only method, fetchrow_hashref()
o The module reads the column headers from the first record in the file, or ...
o The column headers can be passed in to new() if the file has none
o Non-existent file errors throw the exception Iterator::X::IO_Error,
which stringifies to a nice error message if you don't catch it
o EOF returns undef to allow this neat construct:
while ($hashref = $parser -> fetchrow_hashref() ){...}
o Dependencies:
- Iterator::IO
- Text::CSV_PP
o Example code: t/test.t demonstrates:
- How to call fetchrow_hashref in isolation and in a loop
- How to call fetchrow_hashref in eval{...} and catch exceptions
