perl v5.36.0                                       2023-08-06                        AnyData::Format::Fixed(3pm)

       This is a parser for fixed length record files.  You must specify an unpack pattern listing the widths of
       the fields e.g. {pattern=>'A3 A7 A20'}.  You can either supply the column names or let the module get
       them for you from the first line of the file.  In either case, they should be a comma separated string.

       Refer to <http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/pack.html> for the formatting of the pattern.

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