NAME
Text::CSV_Multiline - comma-separated values manipulation routines
SYNOPSIS
use Text::CSV_Multiline;
# reading in a CSV file
while (my @values = csv_read_record(\*STDIN))
{
# do stuff
}
# writing a CSV file
foreach my $data (@rows)
{
csv_write_record(\*STDOUT, @$data);
}DESCRIPTION
This is a very simple comma-separated-value (CSV) file reader and writer. At the time it was created, the standard Text::CSV module could not handle fields that had embedded newline codes, thus this module was written which could handle "multiple lines" in a single CSV field.
It appears that newer versions of Text::CSV have added the capability, though I have not tested it to see if it meets my needs. Anyway, I already have several projects that use this module, so I am maintaining this for just a little longer.
