I would suggest using Text::CSV_XS to read/parse the CSV. It already knows how to deal with UTF-8.
It is capable of using a TAB as separation character:
use Text::CSV_XS;
my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new ({ binary => 1, sep_char => "\t", auto_dia
+g => 1 });
my @headers = $csv->header ($in); # Read the docs, there are options p
+ossible here
while (my $row = $csv->getline ($in)) {
# ...
}
update: I realized later that Text::CSV_XS' csv function already supports gzip as part of the encoding attribute.
use Text::CSV_XS qw( csv );
use PerlIO::via::gzip;
my $aoa = csv (in => "test.csv.gz", encoding => ":via(gzip)");
Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
