Er.

Okay, um.... 
CSV as in Comma Seperated Values?
...start the page, print the table headers, make sure the file is open,
then

   while(<CSV>) {         # read a line
      s/^/<TR><TD>/;      # start the table row and first cell
      s{,}{</TD><TD>}g;   # seperate fields into cells
      s{$}</TD></TR>};    # close the last cell and the row
      print "$_\n";       # I like to add the newline
   }

then print the table closing lines, etc.

That's kinda clumsy, but doesn't require anything too fancy.
You could also do a split/join if you prefer, but you'd still have to
handle the start and end of each line.
