Package: libtext-csv-perl (1.06-1)

comma-separated values manipulator (using XS or PurePerl)

Text::CSV provides facilities for the composition and decomposition of comma-separated values. An instance of the Text::CSV class can combine fields into a CSV string and parse a CSV string into fields.

The module accepts either strings or files as input and can utilize any user-specified characters as delimiters, separators, and escapes so it is perhaps better called ASV (anything separated values) rather than just CSV.

To work, Text::CSV can use either Text::CSV_PP (a Pure Perl module present in this package) or Text::CSV_XS (a XS module, thus optimised, provided by the libtext-csv-xs-perl package).
