Why not think of Text::xSV?

    One reason could be no support for blank_is_undef/ empty_is_undef :)
      The default behavior matches blank_is_undef, but you can easily put a compute on any field that munges undef/blank/whatever values in any way you want.

      Incidentally this is the first time that anyone has asked me for anything like that feature.

    My bad tilly, I have never used your Text::xSV before, but if the opportunity presents itself, I will give it a spin.

There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
