GertMT has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear monks,
it seems that the script I've been using has a problem with the line endings when used on a Mac. I've tried
eol => '\012' eol => '\015' eol => '\l' eol => '\r'
But neither of these did work. Did I forget an alternative?
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use diagnostics; use Text::CSV; my $qfn_in = 'data.csv'; open( my $fh_in, '<', $qfn_in ) or die("Can't open file \"$qfn_in\": $!\n"); my $fh_out = \*STDOUT; my $csv_in = Text::CSV_XS->new( { sep_char => ',', binary => 1, eol => '\015' } ) +; my $csv_out = Text::CSV_XS->new( { sep_char => "\t", eol => $/ } ); while ( my $row = $csv_in->getline($fh_in) ) { $csv_out->print( $fh_out, [ @$row[ 2, 3, 0, 4 ], ] ); }


As an alternative I looked at using *Text::ParseWords* (see below) but just couldn't get more then data of just the first line produced. Maybe someone could help me with that.
Thanks in advance,
Gert
