This module is for reading record-oriented data in a delimited text file. The most common example have records separated by newlines and fields separated by commas or tabs, but this module aims to provide a consistent interface for handling sequential records in a file however they may be delimited. Typically this data lists the fields in the first line of the file, in which case you should call 'bind_header' to bind the field name (or not, and it will be called implicitly). If the first line contains data, you can still bind your own field names via 'bind_fields'. Either way, you can then use many methods to get at the data as arrays or hashes.
