Using Dbase DBI with Perl5

by rschroeter . Updated 24 years, 4 months ago

I need to read in a file and create a Dbase .dbf file. I currently do this by
opening file, then separate fields using the ‘split’ command. Using SQL commands I then parse the record, do a $csv-> fields command and then do an execute to write to the .dbf file. This is a very, very slow process. I am seeking a way to write the file to Dbase much more efficiently, preferably using some sort of native Dbase commands.
