We have been using the PSPP::Perl interface to read data from .sav files into our database, and it works very well for that purpose.
Sometimes the files we read are rather large, and so it takes some time to load the data. We like to be able to show progress to the user who is loading their data, so we need to know the total number of records to be loaded. But right now, there doesn't appear to be any way to get the total number of cases other than scanning through all the records. Is there any way to add a method to the Perl API so that we could do something like this: my $pspp = PSPP::Reader->open($file); my $case_count = $pspp->get_num_cases(); # then load cases to database and show percent complete at various points...
