Tilly,
I'd like to suggest an addition to Text::xSV. It would
be useful for the calling program to access the list of
field header strings that are found in / bound from the
first row of a CSV file; i.e. add a method like "get_header"
as follows:
sub bind_header {
my $self = shift;
$self->bind_fields($self->get_row());
$self->{field_name} = [ @{$self->{row}} ]; # this is new
delete $self->{row};
}
# the following method is new:
sub get_header {
my $self = shift;
if ( exists( $self->{field_name} )) {
return wantarray ? @{$self->{field_name}} : $self->{field_name
+};
}
}
That works for me, but maybe you would want to do it a
little differently. Thanks very much for this module, and
for your discussions in various threads about CSV data --
you got my vote.

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).
