Description Robert Coie (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Parser and generator module for comma-separated value data.
Source from CPAN.  I am uncertain about the title of this package:
the presence of the _XS at the end seems to me to be an implementation
detail, that users should not be exposed to.  However, many files
(including the man page) include the _XS, so perhaps it should be
added to the name of the ebuild as well.  I expect it should go in
dev-perl, whatever name you choose for it.

Added to portage.  Thanks for the submission.

I think this package should be renamed with the _XS suffix.

I just emerged it because I needed a CSV parser for a quick job. Couldn't figure out why my code that used the Text::CSV name wasn't working. Then checked the installed files with `qpkg -I -l Text-CSV` and found that the actual module name is Text::CSV_XS. Changed all instances of Text::CSV to Text::CSV_XS in my code and now it works fine.
