X12 parser CPAN

medirecpr has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks! I have been tasked with the following:

Parse X12 files to identify a specific "element"

Remove "element"

Modify "transaction set" accordingly

Am I going in the right direction with the perl X12::Parser module? Kindest regards,

Generally speaking, CPAN is a good starting point for Perl code. I've never used X12::Parser (nor do I know what X12 is), but take a look at the documentation. Does it describe what you are looking for? Give it a try. There also seems to be some information on X12 at StackOverflow.	[reply]

Thanks! I plan on trying it. I do wish someone that has used this before would tell me: "Yeah, it will work great for what you want to do" But its fine, I'll put in the work, ;-D Regards,	[reply]
