rupesh has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Greetings! I seek the help of fellow monks once again. This is with regard to a friend of mine, who gave me a csv containing a database dump. Below is a sample of the dump. What is needed is a summary of the report on a monthly basis. This would help in analyzing import-sales ratio for every month. (There is a similar dump for sales. That is a simpler one which does not include the 'region' field.) Output monthly report should look like: I've worked on this for more than a couple of hours now using hashes and makeing '$date_$product' as key and quantity as its value. Using more hashes to seperate the regions. I've also tried to write to temp files and re-creating them for each month. Is there a simple way to get the whole thing done in a single loop? I'd appreciate any comments/thoughts from you folks. Many thanks!
Rupesh.
