.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This decoder deals with those special people who think that encoding \s-1CSV\s0 is
as simple as
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  print join(\*(Aq,\*(Aq, map { qq{"$_"} } @row)."\en";
.Ve
.PP
regardless of their data containing quote characters or newlines, resulting in
garbage like
.PP
.Vb 2
\&  "First Name","Last Name","Nickname"
\&  "Joe","Smith",""SuperJoe, to the rescue""
.Ve
.PP
This can actually be processed by (recent versions of) the Text::CSV module
with the following configuration:
.PP
.Vb 6
\&  {
\&    binary => 1,
\&    allow_loose_quotes => 1,
\&    allow_whitespace => 1,
\&    escape_char => undef,
\&  }
.Ve
.PP
And so this module is simply a subclass of Data::TableReader::Decoder::CSV
which provides those defaults to the parser.
