Upstream changes:
1.68 Mon Aug 6 22:22:22 PDT 2012
Patch fromFileGetTopLines() and fromFileIsHeader(), which are used by fromFile(). Impact: minor.
Improve performance of fromFileGuessOS()
Improve fromFile(), fromCSV(), csv() to support using \r, \n within a CSV field.
join() now supports {matchNULL => 1, NULLasEmpty => 1}, if one would like to treat NULL as empty string, or
treat NULL as equal (however, not equal to empty string). Both are set to 0 by default.
Suggested by Kyle Horton & Wilson Dave.
Remove inheritance from AutoLoader and Exporter.

Thanks to Nicholas Andonakis for sharing his code, quite a few ideas in his package inspired the improvements below!
Add new shortcut methods: lastRow(), lastCol(), colName($colNumericIndex)
One can now write
foreach my $i (0..$t->lastRow)
instead of
foreach my $i (0..$t->nofRow-1)
Add iterator(), so that one can now write
my $next = $t_product->iterator();
while (my $row = $next->()) {
# have access to a row as a hash reference, access row number by &$next(1);
$t_product->setElm($next->(1), 'ProductName', 'New! '.$row->{ProductName});
}
addCol() can take the default value for the new column (first argument)
addRow() supports {addNewCol => 1}
moveCol() can take a $newColName.
setElm() can set a value for multiple cells, specified by ref to row array and col array
match_string(), match_pattern(), match_pattern_hash() also produce $parentTable->{MATCH}
# match returns all matched row ids in $t_product->{MATCH} (ref to row ID array)
$t_product->match_pattern_hash('$_{UnitPrice} > 20');
# create a new column, with 'No' as the default value
$t_product->addCol('No', 'IsExpensive');
# use $t_product->{MATCH} to set values for multiple Elements
$t_product->setElm($t_product->{MATCH}, 'IsExpensive', 'Yes');

Update Change.txt file to point out $keepRestCol defaults to 1 is only for group()
For pivot(), $keepRestCol is still default to 0 as before.
1.66 Wed Jul 25 11:03:29 PDT 2012
Change the default value of keepRestCol in group() to 1, instead of 0 to be compatible with older versions
