Tilly,
I'd like to suggest an addition to Text::xSV. It would
be useful for the calling program to access the list of
field header strings that are found in / bound from the
first row of a CSV file; i.e. add a method like "get_header"
as follows:
sub bind_header {
my $self = shift;
$self->bind_fields($self->get_row());
$self->{field_name} = [ @{$self->{row}} ]; # this is new
delete $self->{row};
}
# the following method is new:
sub get_header {
my $self = shift;
if ( exists( $self->{field_name} )) {
return wantarray ? @{$self->{field_name}} : $self->{field_name
+};
}
}
That works for me, but maybe you would want to do it a
little differently. Thanks very much for this module, and
for your discussions in various threads about CSV data --
you got my vote.
