NAME
Acme::CPANModules::WorkingWithCSV - Working with CSV (comma-separated
value) data in Perl
VERSION
This document describes version 0.002 of
Acme::CPANModules::WorkingWithCSV (from Perl distribution
Acme-CPANModules-WorkingWithCSV), released on 2022-12-02.
DESCRIPTION
The following are tools (modules and scripts) to work with the CSV
format:
Parsing
First things first, the most important module to work with CSV in Perl
is Text::CSV (which will use Text::CSV_XS backend when possible but fall
back to Text::CSV_PP otherwise). It's not in core, but only a cpanm
command away.
Generating CSV from Perl array/structure
Text::CSV (as well as Text::CSV_XS) can render a line of CSV from Perl
array(ref) with their "say()" method.
dd2csv from App::CSVUtils
Perinci::CmdLine framework can render function result (CLI output) as
CSV.
Converting to/from other formats
*INI*: ini2csv from App::TextTableUtils
*TSV*: csv2tsv and Ltsv2csv from App::CSVUtils
*LTSV*: csv2ltsv from App::CSVUtils and Lltsv2csv from App::LTSVUtils
*XLS* and *XLSX*: csv2tsv and tsv2csv from App::CSVUtils
*JSON*: csv2json and json2csv from App::TextTableUtils
*Markdown table*: csv2mdtable from App::TextTableUtils
*Org table*: csv2orgtable from App::TextTableUtils
*SQLite database*: csv2sqlite from App::SQLiteUtils
Rendering as text/ASCII table
csv2texttable from App::TextTableUtils
Changing field separator character, field quote character, and/or escape
character
csv-csv from App::CSVUtils
Adding/removing columns
csv-add-fields, csv-delete-field, csv-select-fields from App::CSVUtils
Processing columns of CSV with Perl code
csv-munge-field from App::CSVUtils
Processing rows of CSV with Perl code
Aside from the obvious Text::CSV, you can also use csv-each-row,
csv-munge-row, csv-mp from App::CSVUtils.
Merging rows from several CSV files into one
csv-setop, csv-concat from App::CSVUtils
Splitting a CSV file into several
csv-split from App::CSVUtils
Sorting CSV rows
csv-sort from App::CSVUtils
Sorting CSV columns
csv-sort-fields from App::CSVUtils
Filtering CSV columns
csv-select-fields from App::CSVUtils
Filtering CSV rows
csv-grep and csv-select-rows from App::CSVUtils
csvgrep from csvgrep
Transposing CSV
csv-transpose from App::CSVUtils
Summing and averaging rows
csv-sum and csv-avg from App::CSVUtils
Producing frequency table from CSV
csv-freqtable from App::CSVUtils
Performing set operations (intersection, union, difference) on CSV
csv-setop from App::CSVUtils

FAQ
What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?
An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list
of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to
categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more
details.
What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?
Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation,
you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules
script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution):
% cpanm-cpanmodules -n WorkingWithCSV
Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules
distribution):
% cpanmodules ls-entries WorkingWithCSV | cpanm -n
or Acme::CM::Get:
% perl -MAcme::CM::Get=WorkingWithCSV -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
or directly:
% perl -MAcme::CPANModules::WorkingWithCSV -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::WorkingWithCSV::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful
result for "lcpan related-mods" command when it comes to finding related
modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See
App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules"
are found.

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR,
Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps
required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
