The best way to deal with CSV is to use a module from CPAN.

Text::CVS  http://search.cpan.org/~makamaka/Text-CSV-1.20/lib/Text/CSV.pm

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.

The secret to great software:  Fail early & often.

Eliminate software piracy:  use only FLOSS.
