in thread CSV or HTML?
I've seen that complaint before, which is odd because the docs clearly tell you how to write a CSV, as well. The first sentence of the description says so specifically. The functions you want are combine (into a CSV string) or, more likely, print (combine and then print to a filehandle).
Here's a simple example:
@headers = ( "First", "Second", "Third", "Fourth" ); @cols = ( "I'm text", 12, # <--Number "", "That was a blank" ); my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new; open my $fh, ">Output.csv" or die $!; $csv->print($fh, @headers); # Prints with \n by default $csv->print($fh, @cols); # Use something like # $csv->print($fh, @$_) for @rows # for an array of data.
Output.csv should look like this:
"First","Second","Third","Fourth" "I'm text",12,,"That was a blank"
Cheers!
