Uh, why dont you bundle Text::CSV and its supporting files (if it has any) with your code? Why dont you look in Text::CSV and see how it parses csv format? Be sure to check the license if you go with the former option.... I just checked the source: http://search.cpan.org/src/ALANCITT/Text-CSV-0.01/CSV.pm All perl, self contained module, and open source license.
