Hi.
I just installed Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple and thought about adding a
behaviour to &next_row. As it is now, the documentation doesn't specify any
behaviour for scalar context, so I figured it could return the equivalent of
"$sheet->has_data ? [ $sheet->next_row ] : undef" in scalar context. The
benefit of this would be that
while ($sheet->has_data) {
my @data = $sheet->next_row;
...
}
can be written
while (my $data = $sheet->next_row) {
...
}
and thus making a useful abstraction.
What do you think of this?
