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.
