and I wasn't sure if my post was received or not. *head-scratching*

unable to set ;csv_eol=\015, but saving the file via bbedit to DOS
instead of Macintosh, the code works?!? what the hell?
setting csv_eol=\015 when file format is saved as Macintosh results in
this error, searching for "test":
DBD::CSV::st execute failed: Missing first row at Primus
8.5GB:Applications:MacPerl 5.6.1a4 �:site_perl:DBD:CSV.pm line 157,
<GEN0> line 1.
o if fileformat is DOS and csv_eol=\015, it searches the file but
finds 0 results
o if fileformat is DOS and I SET csv_eol=\015\012 it FINDS THE 7
RESULTS PROPERLY O_o
i.e. it's only confused SOMEtimes. Somewhere, it's assuming the file is
a DOS file, even though I'm setting csv_eol properly, the question is
WHERE?
my $dbh =
DBI->connect("dbi:CSV:f_dir=${dbi_connect_dir};csv_sep_char=\t;csv_eol=\0
15\012", '', '', { RaiseError => 2 })
or die "Can't connect to database: $DBI::errstr";
All well and good, except that the file is generated by a whole suite of
perl scripts running under MacPerl 5.6.1a*, (a mysql table output by SQL
embedded in an .asp page, formatted to an html table, parsed by
HTML::Parser, and tested for integrity by script # 3) and is read for
report-generation by something like 10 other scripts.
I don't want to go back through all the scripts and change the input and
output record separators unless I absolutely have to, considering one
single csv_eol=\015 is supposed to solve the problem :)
DBI 1.20
DBD::CSV 0.1027

I can post the complete script and a smidge of sample data if you wish
