Re: [GUSDEV] plugins and CVs again

[Steve F. <sfi...@pc...>]

ok.  yes, the format will be two columns, tab delimited.   how's that?

what we can do is rename my method from:
 
checkControlledVocab($file, $table, $column)

to:

my cvHash = getControlledVocab($file, $table, $column)

(it still dies if there is a problem.)

the key of the hash is the input value.  the value of the hash is a 
little hash with keys "term" and "primaryKey"
