Hi and thanks for this great module,

I was wondering if you could add an option (unless it already exists and I missed it in the documentation).

I am currently dealing with CSV files that were transmitted from a remote computer somewhere in the nature to our server. There are often lines corrupted, meaning they can have more or less values than the header. I want to skip them (because they are corrupted) but not die the program (because next lines are good). I use the bind_columns but when there are more values I get the 3006 error and it gets out of the while. Putting an error_diag right after the while loop and checking for the 3006 error, I can then say goto beginning_of_loop, but this is not the solution I prefer... And I could not check if there was enough values to match the headers...

So what I imagine is an option in the constructor letting the programer choose if the number of columns matches the header (if any) goes on without reporting, make a warning that could go invisible or fetched in error_diag or make the usual error as now (unseen if no auto_diag but dies anyway). But I let you deal with the 'how'...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
