NAME

Data::TableReader::Decoder::IdiotCSV - Access rows of a badly formatted comma-delimited test file

VERSION

version 0.001

DESCRIPTION

This decoder deals with those special people who think that encoding CSV is as simple as

print join(',', map { qq{"$_"} } @row)."\n";

regardless of their data containing quote characters or newlines, resulting in garbage like

"First Name","Last Name","Full Name"
"Joe","Smith","Joe "Bossman" Smith"

This can actually be processed by the Text::CSV module with the following configuration:

{
  binary => 1,
  allow_loose_quotes => 1,
  allow_whitespace => 1,
  escape_char => undef,
}

And so this module is simply a subclass of Data::TableReader::Decoder::CSV which provides those defaults to the parser.
