[TriLUG] Perl CSV

[Greg Brown]

Interesting.  What benefits do you find using the Perl Text::CSV module.  I
work with .csv files literally all the time (no joke) but I've stuck with
the tried and true method of the following:

my $infile=somecsvfile.csv
my $line;
my @line;

open(INFILE,$infile) || die "can't open $infile: $!\n";

foreach $line (<INFILE>) {

     chomp($line);
     $line =~ s/\s+/ /g; # get rid of extra spaces
     @line = split(/\,/,$line); # split the line at the commas

     # send hostname and IP address to the subscript and ssh to device






}
