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
