-h: Display help
Normalizer.pl takes a tab-delimited, string-quoted textfile, such as might be made by copying and pasting an excel sheet into a text file, and creates a series of files containing the data in third normal form and suitable for import into a database.
Note that if the software were given only the first line (A) it would only identify a 1:1 relationship. Likewise if the software were given only the first (A) and the third (C) lines, it would identify two sets (col1, col2 & col3; and col4 & col5). Thus, the larger the file, the more accurate the set identification. However, a conceptual underidentification could be corrected manually after import into a database.
