If you start simple, Text::CSV_XS' interface does not have a steep learning curve at all :)
If all your text files have a header, and you want "column" fooble extracted from all TAB-separated .txt files
use strict;
use warnings;
use Text::CSV_XS qw( csv );
my @result;
foreach my $f (sort glob "*.txt") { # Use File::Find for recursive act
+ions
csv (in => $f, headers => "auto", sep => "\t", on_in => sub {
push @result => $_{fooble};
});
}
open my $fh, ">", "results.txt" or die $!;
say $fh $_ for grep { length } @result;
close $fh;
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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
