  Small modifications to sort subroutine example in the document, no bug.

  join method, if $cols2 is undefined, defaults @$cols2 to @$cols1
  Update fromCSV, fromTSV, csv methods to be able to deal with certain delimiters correctly.
    (When the delimiter is a special symbol for regexp, it should be escaped, e.g., set delimiter to '\|' for pipe symbol).
  Thanks to suggestions from Michael Slaven.

  update fromCSV, fromTSV to take additional arguments: skip_lines and skip_pattern
  skip_lines lets user skip several lines in the beginning of the input file
  skip_pattern lets user skip all lines that match a regular expression
  Please read documents under fromCSV and fromTSV for details.
  Thanks to suggestions from Wenbin Ye.

  Upload the wrong code in 1.46, re-upload

1.46 Sat May 13 05:44:09 PDT 2006
  fromCSV, fromTSV, csv, tsv can all take either a file hander or a file name
  Notice: to leave rooms for future development, file handler is not closed by Data::Table.
          It's caller's responsibility to close it afterwards, if no longer used.
  table::sort code is replaced, the old sort method is renamed to sort_v0 and is deprecated.
  The new sort method allow user-defined sorting operators, please read manual on table::sort
  The new sort method also runs faster in some benchmark tests.
  A big thank to Wenbin Ye for suggestions, as well as contributing
    both the new sort code and test examples

  Thanks to Albert V. Smith

1.44 Sat Apr 15 04:27:28 PDT 2006
  Fix a bug in join (type=2 and 3)
  When right or full join, key fields are undef for right-only entries.

  modify fromCSV, fromTSV, tsv, csv subroutines to support read/write PC, Mac and UNIX files.
  csv and tsv can take a file name and directly writes to it.
