File::SimpleQuery - Query flat-files, simply!
Version 0.01
Have you ever wanted to make queries against a flat-file, similar to a database, but did not want to setup all the necessary database machinery? Enter File::SimpleQuery, which is intended to allow you to make simple sql-like queries against a file you specify.
Intended to make querying simple files easier. The file in question is expected to have the first row be a header row, which is how it knows whichs fields to select from.
use File::SimpleQuery; my $delimiter = ','; my $filename = 'test_file'; my $q = File::SimpleQuery->new($filename, $delimiter); my @results = $q->select( [ qw/ field1 fieldn / ], sub { my $fields = shift; return 1 if $fields->{field1} eq 'foo' }, );
The constructor. You must specify the filename and the delimiter between rows
Returns a list of hash-refs that match the lines in the file where the where_sub evaluates to true, groupped by the group_by_fields
