Didn't you just reinvent Text::CSV_XS? The only tweak required is
saying "binary" to enable the use of newlines inside quoted fields.

It appears I shoulda spent more time reading the man pages.  A loop like 
this:

while(my $d = $obj->get_chunk) {
   my $dh = new IO::Scalar \$d;
   while(my $f = $csv->getline($dh) and @$f) {
      process_fields($f);
   }
}

works just fine, as long as the $csv object is constructed with the 
"binary => 1" option.  I'm not sure what would happen in the case where 
the data is in pieces that don't correspond to CSV line boundaries, but 
fortunately for me, my application can guarantee getting the data in 
complete records.  So, looks like CSV::Parse is going away.

Thanks, Josh!
