You have posted in the right group, but in the wrong way.

You need to produce a small but complete script, together with some
data, that still displays the problem.

That way, we can easily test alternative hypotheses about your problem.

Please consult the posting guidelines for this group. Read especially
about the __DATA__ filehandle.

Obviously, we don't need 25,000 records. All we need is some data where
things work the way you expect them to, and some where they don't along
with a short but complete script we can run just by copying and pasting.

I am not quite sure about the exact format of the data for which you
claim the parser fails. As I said, show us code, show us real data.

But it is not a complete script we can run by copying and pasting.
