Unfortunately no two of these have compatible APIs.

Been a while since I used any of these (although for speed I used CSV_XS and for flexibility I use your xSV), but I seem to recall that CSV_XS and CSV are interface compatible. What am I forgetting?

    Hmm..my memory was bad. With Text::CSV you pass in the line to parse() while with Text::CVS_XS you pass in the filehandle to getline(). However looking at it I notice that Text::CSV_XS also offers the parse() interface. So I was wrong, they are compatible after all.

    However naive code using the parse() interface will break on embedded newlines. If you want to use Text::CSV, then I'd strongly recommend writing your own getline() function, and then using that.
