FUNCTIONS

csv_add_field(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Add a field to CSV file.

Your Perl code (-e) will be called for each row (excluding the header row) and should return the value for the new field. $main::row is available and contains the current row, while $main::rownum contains the row number (2 means the first data row).

Field by default will be added as the last field, unless you specify one of --after (to put after a certain field), --before (to put before a certain field), or --at (to put at specific position, 1 means as the first field).

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• after => str

  Put the new field after specified field.

• at => int

  Put the new field at specific position (1 means as first field).

• before => str

  Put the new field before specified field.

• eval* => str

  Perl code to do munging.

• field* => str

  Field name.

• filename* => filename

  Input CSV file.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)

csv_avg(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Output a summary row which are arithmetic averages of data rows.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• filename* => filename

  Input CSV file.

• with_data_rows => bool

  Whether to also output data rows.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)

csv_concat(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Concatenate several CSV files together, collecting all the fields.

Example, concatenating this CSV:

 col1,col2
 1,2
 3,4

and:

 col2,col4
 a,b
 c,d
 e,f

and:

 col3
 X
 Y

will result in:

 col1,col2,col4,col3
 1,2,
 3,4,
 ,a,b
 ,c,d
 ,e,f
 ,,,X
 ,,,Y
