<p>It contains a path that is used when looking for external programs (when the reserved words PROG or PROGS are used). For example, the <code>examples</code> directory in the source distribution of this package has an external program <code>age.sh</...

<p>In order to run this tool you need Perl and the following Perl modules to be installed:</p>

<pre>   App::Cmd::Simple
   Text::CSV::Simple
   Text::CSV_XS
   File::BOM
   Getopt::Long::Descriptive
   Pod::Usage
   Algorithm::Loops</pre>

<p>Optionally (if your configuration file uses the reserved word PROG or PROGS for calculated columns):</p>

>KNOWN BUGS, MISSING FEATURES</a></h1>

<ul>
<li>Columns are identified by their header names. There is no way to identify them simply by their order (column number).</li>

<li>The input spreadsheet are read first into memory. Which may be a problem with really huge spreadsheets.</li>

<li>The inputs can be COMMA-separated or TAB-separated. It would be perhaps nice to allow also the Excel spreadsheets.</li>

<li>Comparing header names and rows is case-sensitive only. There is a plan to implement the option <code>-ignorecases</code>,</li>
</ul>

<p>Some of these missing features may be implemented later.</p>
