NAME
       AnyData::Format::Pipe - tiedhash & DBI/SQL access to Pipe delimited files

SYNOPSIS
	use AnyData;
	my $table = adHash( 'Pipe', $filename,'r',$flags );
	while (my $row = each %$table) {
	    print $row->{name},"
" if $row->{country} =~ /us|mx|ca/;
	}
	# ... other tied hash operations

	OR

	 use DBI
	my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:AnyData:');
	$dbh->func('table1','Pipe', $filename,$flags,'ad_catalog');
	my $hits = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( qq{
	    SELECT name FROM table1 WHERE country = 'us'
	});
	# ... other DBI/SQL operations

DESCRIPTION
       This is a plug-in format parser for the AnyData and DBD::AnyData modules. It will read column names from the first row of the file, or
       accept names passed by the user.  In addition to column names, the user may set other options as follows:

	 col_names   : a pipe separated list of column names

       If you are using this with DBD::AnyData, put ad_ in front of the flags, e.g.  ad_eol.

       Please refer to the documentation for AnyData.pm and DBD::AnyData.pm for further details.
