Or just chuck the loop and use a slice, replacing

	@recordFlds = split($fieldDelimiter,$_);
	for($flds=0;$flds<@fields;flds++);
		$field{$fields[$flds]} = $recordFlds[$flds];
	}

with 

	@field{@fields} = split($fieldDelimiter, $_);

Shorter, simpler (note the two errors in the original), and
executes faster to boot!
