Module

    DBD::CSV - DBI driver for CSV files

Description

    The DBD::CSV module is yet another driver for the DBI (Database

    independent interface for Perl). This one is based on the SQL

    "engine" SQL::Statement and the abstract DBI driver DBD::File

    and implements access to so-called CSV files (Comma separated

    values).

    Feel free to clone your own copy:

     $ git clone https://github.com/perl5-dbi/DBD-CSV.git DBD-CSV

    or get it as a tgz:

     $ wget --output-document=DBD-CSV-git.tgz \

	'https://github.com/perl5-dbi/DBD-CSV/archive/master.tar.gz

    which will unpack to DBD-CSV-master

Prerequisites:

    DBI - the DBI (Database independent interface for Perl).

    SQL::Statement - a simple SQL engine.

    Text::CSV_XS - this module is used for writing rows to or reading

	rows from CSV files.

Build/Installation:

    Use CPAN:

      cpan DBD::CSV

    Or standard build/installation:

      gzip -cd DBD-CSV-0.43.tar.gz | tar xf -

      cd DBD-CSV-0.43

      perl Makefile.PL

      make test

      make install

    (this is for Unix users, Windows users would prefer PowerArchiver,

    WinZip or something similar).

    The test suite contains extensive tests for all features provided

    by DBD::CSV. Some of them include the use of what is set to be the

    default temporary directory on the system. Even though the tests

    do not use the folder to read or modify data, using the folder will

    imply the scanning of that folder to see if files would qualify for

    use in DBD::CSV. When the folder contains many files, the scanning

    will seriously slow down the testing duration. The configure phase

    therefor asks the user if using the folder is allowed. The default

    answer is yes unless $AUTOMATED_TESTING is set.

    As File::Spec->tmpdir () honors the environment, you can enable

    these tests using another folder by setting $TMPDIR or whatever

    controls tmpdir () or your OS.
