Bug #27049 for Tie-Handle-CSV: Suggestion: Lower case headings option

Subject:

Suggestion: Lower case headings option

I'd like to see a constructor option which forces column headings to lower case. That solves both (a) mixed/unknown case in the heading itself, and (b) allows code to use the same case in data returned by this module as is returned by other modules elsewhere in my code.

I've just added and released the 'force_lower' option in Tie-Handle-CSV version 0.07.

$many x $thanx; After I submitted that suggestion, I realized lower case suits me but not necessarily others. Now, I would suggest 'heading_case', with these values o lower o upper o as-is (default) Sorry I didn't think of this first :(. -- Ron Savage ron@savage.net.au http://savage.net.au/index.html

That seems reasonable. I may also add an 'any' value for case-insensitive keys. It would force the use of tied hashes even if you had 'stringify => 0'. That would take a bit more time and testing, but supporting 'lower', 'upper' and 'as_is' is pretty easy.

Just released version 0.08 which now includes the 'key_case' option allowing the user to specify 'lower' or 'upper', defaulting to 'as_is'. Still planning to add support for case insensitive keys/headers via the 'any' value.

Released v0.09 which adds support for case-insensitive hash keys via the key_case => 'any' option.
