A software that simplifies the process of parsing CSV files.
With Text::CSV::Simple, you can easily parse CSV files and extract the data you need. To get started, simply create a new parser object with the "new" method. Then, use the "read_file" method to read in your CSV file and store the data in an array.
What if you only want to extract certain fields from the CSV file? No problem. Text::CSV::Simple lets you specify which fields you want to extract with the "want_fields" method. Simply pass the indexes of the fields you want to extract as arguments.
If you want to map the fields to a hash, Text::CSV::Simple makes that easy too. Use the "field_map" method to specify the names of the fields you want to associate with each index. Then, when you parse the CSV file with the "read_file" method, the data will be returned as an array of hashes.
Under the hood, Text::CSV::Simple is a wrapper around Text::CSV_XS, which takes care of the hard work of parsing CSV files. Text::CSV::Simple streamlines the common use cases of this module, making it easy to work with even for those who are new to Perl.
