=head1 NAME
tabdelim_to_db - convert tab-delimited data into fsdb
=head1 SYNOPSIS
tabdelim_to_db <source.tabdelim >target.fsdb
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Converts a tab-delimited data stream to Fsdb format.
The input is tab-delimited (I<not> fsdb):
the first row is taken to be the names of the columns;
tabs separate columns.
The output is a fsdb file with a proper header
and a tab field-separator.

begin_standard_fsdb_options
This module also supports the standard fsdb options:
=over 4
=item B<-d>
Enable debugging output.
=item B<-i> or B<--input> InputSource
Read from InputSource, typically a file name, or C<-> for standard input,
or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
=item B<-o> or B<--output> OutputDestination
Write to OutputDestination, typically a file name, or C<-> for standard output,
or (if in Perl) a IO::Handle, Fsdb::IO or Fsdb::BoundedQueue objects.
=item B<--autorun> or B<--noautorun>
By default, programs process automatically,
but Fsdb::Filter objects in Perl do not run until you invoke
the run() method.
The C<--(no)autorun> option controls that behavior within Perl.
=item B<--help>
Show help.
=item B<--man>
Show full manual.
