=head1 NAME

Text::CSV - comma-separated values manipulation routines

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use Text::CSV;

 $version = Text::CSV->version();      # get the module version

 $csv = Text::CSV->new();              # create a new object

 $status = $csv->combine(@columns);    # combine columns into a string
 $line = $csv->string();               # get the combined string

 $status = $csv->parse($line);         # parse a CSV string into fields
 @columns = $csv->fields();            # get the parsed fields

 $status = $csv->status();             # get the most recent status
 $bad_argument = $csv->error_input();  # get the most recent bad argument

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Text::CSV provides facilities for the composition and decomposition of
comma-separated values.  An instance of the Text::CSV class can combine
fields into a CSV string and parse a CSV string into fields.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=over 4

=item version

 $version = Text::CSV->version();

This function may be called as a class or an object method.  It returns the current
module version.

=item new

 $csv = Text::CSV->new();

This function may be called as a class or an object method.  It returns a reference to a
newly created Text::CSV object.

=item combine

 $status = $csv->combine(@columns);

This object function constructs a CSV string from the arguments, returning
success or failure.  Failure can result from lack of arguments or an argument
containing an invalid character.  Upon success, C<string()> can be called to
retrieve the resultant CSV string.  Upon failure, the value returned by
C<string()> is undefined and C<error_input()> can be called to retrieve an
invalid argument.

=item string

 $line = $csv->string();

This object function returns the input to C<parse()> or the resultant CSV string of
C<combine()>, whichever was called more recently.

=item parse

 $status = $csv->parse($line);

This object function decomposes a CSV string into fields, returning
success or failure.  Failure can result from a lack of argument or the given CSV
string is improperly formatted.  Upon success, C<fields()> can be called to
retrieve the decomposed fields .  Upon failure, the value returned by
C<fields()> is undefined and C<error_input()> can be called to retrieve the
invalid argument.

=item fields

 @columns = $csv->fields();

This object function returns the input to C<combine()> or the resultant decomposed
fields of C<parse()>, whichever was called more recently.

=item status

 $status = $csv->status();

This object function returns success (or failure) of C<combine()> or C<parse()>,
whichever was called more recently.

=item error_input

 $bad_argument = $csv->error_input();

This object function returns the erroneous argument (if it exists) of C<combine()>
or C<parse()>, whichever was called more recently.

=back

=head1 EXAMPLE

  require Text::CSV;

  my $csv = Text::CSV->new;

  my $column = '';
  my $sample_input_string = '"I said, ""Hi!""",Yes,"",2.34,,"1.09"';
  if ($csv->parse($sample_input_string)) {
    my @field = $csv->fields;
    my $count = 0;
    for $column (@field) {
      print ++$count, " => ", $column, "\n";
    }
    print "\n";
  } else {
    my $err = $csv->error_input;
    print "parse() failed on argument: ", $err, "\n";
  }

  my @sample_input_fields = ('You said, "Hello!"',
			     5.67,
			     'Surely',
			     '',
			     '3.14159');
  if ($csv->combine(@sample_input_fields)) {
    my $string = $csv->string;
    print $string, "\n";
  } else {
    my $err = $csv->error_input;
    print "combine() failed on argument: ", $err, "\n";
  }

=head1 CAVEATS

This module is based upon a working definition of CSV format which may not be
the most general.

=over 4

=item 1 

Allowable characters within a CSV field include 0x09 (tab) and the inclusive
range of 0x20 (space) through 0x7E (tilde).

=item 2

A field within CSV may be surrounded by double-quotes.

=item 3

A field within CSV must be surrounded by double-quotes to contain a comma.

=item 4

A field within CSV must be surrounded by double-quotes to contain an embedded
double-quote, represented by a pair of consecutive double-quotes.

=item 5

A CSV string may be terminated by 0x0A (line feed) or by 0x0D,0x0A
(carriage return, line feed).
