I think my recent changes to csv2xlsx warrants an update.
As this is on github but not yet released, feel free to comment on the new -S/--split feature, so I can update the docs or amend the code.
To explain the new options: I was faced with a 50_000 line CSV file that had logical vertical sections. The section start was clearly marked. Say you have a CSV file with orders per customer, grouped by customer, and every such section starts with Customer,34526,"Foo Tool Factory",20220601,... followed by the orders.
What I wanted was to convert this CSV to Excel (as required by the other end) where each customer had its own sheet. With the new options that would be:
$ csv2xlsx -S A=Customer --sl=C orders.csv
Start a new sheet when column A is "Customer" and then use the value in column C for the matching record as label for the sheet.
-S (or --split) also supports syntax for regex/empty/undef/compare and can be stacked.

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).
