Re: [FWP] a better tab-delimited test parser

[Josh Rabinowitz <joshr@joshr.com>]

Dear Martin:

You might look into the Text::CSV_XS module (and it's slower brother, 
Text::CSV). They default to handling Comma Seperated Value files, but 
you can set the escape chars, seperator chars, etc to other values. 
The modules can also create CVS files from your data.

Your solution is _much_ more elegant, but I suspect Text::CSV_XS 
handles quoting and escaped characters more generally. :)

best,
joshr
