I expect there to be an easy way in Perl to use built-in default idioms, to assert that my input and output are in the UTF-8 character encoding form of Unicode, and to use CPAN modules, all at the same time, and without having to know what an "XS module" is.
Specifically, I want to process many CSV files that I feed to the Perl program via @ARGV. I want to use the CPAN module Text::CSV_XS to parse the CSV records. I don't want to open and close files explicitly; I want Perl to open and close them for me implicitly. I want to continue to use Perl's built-in idioms that permit me to avoid needless extra programming, just as I always have.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
