I was playing with Text::CSV_XS .. and got lost.. seriously.. although it did claim it could handle "embedded newlines" which i now know is the term for the thing thats killing me.. i couldn't get it to handle embedded newlines even in binary mode.<br>
I will play with Text::xSV tonight to see what i come up with.. <br><br>With all the different "csv" parsing modules out there.. you would think there would be a push for one big/good one to use with good docs and examples... Instead of 10 different ones you load on special cases with mediocre docs and examples..<br>

</div>Try Text::xSV, it's less blatantly line-based than Text::CSV, and it copes<br>
with that sort of thing better. Besides, I think the interface is more sane.<br>
