Re: The future of Text::CSV_XS - TODO

• Improve date conversion in examples/csv2xls
  new option -D allows column selection for date conversions
• Tested under perl-5.12.0 (and 21 other versions of perl)
• Added a note about EBCDIC data files
• Test suite is now safe for parallel test (prove --shuffle -j6)

Together with the 1.611 release of DBI, it made a new release possible for DBD::CSV

2010-05-03 DBD::CSV-0.29

Some highlights from over the past few releases:

• Support for f_encoding and f_lock
• Documentation updates
• Adjustments for windows
• Mark all non-\w chars illegal in field and table names
• Fix field types after execute
• Fix for NULL joins

Which leads you to:

           $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:CSV:", undef, undef, {
               f_schema         => undef,
               f_dir            => "data",
               f_ext            => ".csv/r",
               f_lock           => 2,
               f_encoding       => "utf8",

               csv_null         => 1,

               RaiseError       => 1,
               PrintError       => 1,
               FetchHashKeyName => "NAME_lc",
               }) or die $DBI::errstr;
