This is a pure Perl module for reading CSV-type formats.

Features

• Line oriented. (ie Doesn't slurp the whole file.)
• Handles embedded commas, returns, and quotes properly.
• Simple interface.
• It attempts to give informative errors on problems in the file.

Drawbacks

• It is not optimized for performance.
• It is strongly oriented towards reading data from a file.
• Any use of the special variables $`, $&, or $' will slow it significantly.
