The name
Text::CSV_XS is a poor name and, IMHO, should be discarded in favor of an XS implementation of
Text::xSV called Text::xSV::Fast. It could be included in the distribution and, if a C-compiler exists, should be compiled. Then, at install time, the user can choose if they wish to have the PurePerl version as the primary version or not.
I never understood the completely artificial separation between Pure-Perl versions and XS versions, not when we have an extensible build system that can require input from the installing user.
Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
