Can someone please let me know if the built-in : functionality of Perl can print OUT to CSV but control what the CSV : looks like? Actually, I know that I can output to CSV but I want the : first row in the CSV to be a certain color and the text to be a : certain color also. If I can maximize the cells through the script to : be as big as the largest entry, that would also be preferred. : : Please let me know if this can be done. What do you mean by CSV? I think it is a comma separated values file. In such a file, color is meaningless. Perhaps I misunderstand the questions or perhaps you are referring print out a CSV, not printing to a CSV. Can you clarify? HTH, Charles K.
