Text::CSV::Easy is a simple module for parsing and building CSV strings. This module itself is a lightweight wrapper around Text::CSV::Easy_XS or Text::CSV::Easy_PP.
Integers do not need to be quoted, but strings must be quoted:
1,"two","three" OK
"1","two","three" OK
1,two,three NOT OKIf you need to use a literal quote ("), escape it with another quote:
"one","some ""quoted"" string"There is also a difference between an empty string and an undefined value:
"", ( '', undef )SUBROUTINES
