xSV is line oriented: as long as each line is well formed it should be parsed correctly.

Embedded newlines are OK as long as the field is quoted. However, not all tools will parse the field correctly. Last time I checked, Text::CSV and Text::CSV_XS do not. I suspect Text::xSV will be better behaved. There are other, non Perl, tools that should work fine as well. -Gyepi _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list Boston-pm@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
