NAME

CSV::Slurp - turn some CSV in an array of hashes

SUMMARY

I often need to take a CSV file that has a header row and turn it into a perl data structure for further manipulation. This package does that in as few steps as possible.

USAGE

my $data = Text::CSV::Slurp->load(file       => $filename   [,%options]);
my $data = Text::CSV::Slurp->load(filehandle => $filehandle [,%options]);
my $data = Text::CSV::Slurp->load(string     => $string     [,%options]);

Returns an array of hashes. Any extra arguments are passed to Text::CSV. The first line of the CSV is assumed to be a header row. Its fields are used as the keys for each of the hashes.

METHODS

new

my $slurp = Text::CSV::Slurp->new();

Instantiate an object.

load

my $data = Text::CSV::Slurp->load(file => $filename);
my $data = $slurp->load(file => $filename);
