ToddAndMargo, this should handle any kind of columns separated data (or
any table). If some column (commonly separated with a constant character
as "\t", ";", "|", ....) has different types (char, text, int, boolean,
...) in a single column, then it should be treated as a character, but
if it has only float (in all rows/lines) then the parser checks all rows
for a same column (in this example case all them are float) and assign
the column as float contain column.
Example:
NAME(long char);NICK(char);AGE(natural/positive
integer);HEIGHT(float m);WEIGHT(float kg)

You may see that the first line must be a header, all lines have 5
fields separated by ";" and each field has a unique type (the
specifications not aways be declared on the data or file).
Consider an array of hashes:
my Str $Name;
my Str $NickName;
my uint $Age;
my num $Height;
my num $Weight;
my @Members;
my %Person= ( Name=> $Name, NickName => $NickName, Age=> $Age, Height=>
$Height, Weight=> $Weight );
Then you can use "push" to create an array of hashes on to @Members as
you read in each member.
push @Members, %Person;
