No, this was just an example of how to mix CSV and DBI
Your problem could be translated to something like
my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new ({ binary => 1 });
open my $dta, "<", "data.csv" or die "data: $!\n";
my @rows;
while (my $row = $csv->getline ($dta)) {
push @rows, $row;
}
$csv->eof or $csv->error_diag;
close $dta;
# pivot
my @data = map { my $col = $_; join "|", map { $_->[$col] } @rows } 0.
+.$#{$rows[0]};
Which will convert
123,foo,2,FOO
234,bar,2,BAR
345,zap,3,ZAP
456,bok,5,BOK
into
( "123|234|345|456",
"foo|bar|zap|bok",
"2|2|3|5",
"FOO|BAR|ZAP|BOK")
Assuming all records have equal length
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).
