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.
