That's indeed all I want to do (at this point in time :) and is way more efficient. Thanks alot for the pointer. The program is now working as it should. However since I came across it: _If_ I would want to use DBD::CSV on large (i.e. 50000 or more records) CSV files, what would I have to do ? Is there a buildin limit on the number of records DBD::CSV can handle ? And if yes, would it be easy to increase that ? (and if yes it possibly should be mentioned in the POD...)
