in reply to Using TEXT::CSV_XS to delete columns

Look at the CSV-files as a database and use DBD::CSV then you do not need to worry about the sequence of the headers.

    Okay, I will give that a look, but is there a way to do it with TEXT::CSV_XS? That is the solution I am looking for. Thanks.
      Of course there is a way to do this.

      Have a look at the column_names and getline_hr (or getline_hr_all) methods of Text::CSV.
