As others have said, you really should use a module. For completness, here's
a solution using Text::CSV::Simple ("datafile" holds the data you gave in
the question):
use Text::CSV::Simple;
my $parser = Text::CSV::Simple->new;
my @data = $parser->read_file("datafile"); for my $aref (@data) {
my ($partno, $language, $title, $cost, $available) = @$aref;
print "PN=$partno, L=$language, T=$title, C=$cost, A=$available\n"; }

I just tried the following (Win XP, AS Perl 5.6.1):-
C:\...PERL Documents>ppm install Text::CSV::Simple
And got (slightly re-formatted):-
Installing package 'Text-CSV-Simple'...
Error installing package 'Text-CSV-Simple':
Could not locate a PPD file for package
Text-CSV-Simple
Only a short while before I had no trouble with "ppm install
HTML::CalendarMonthSimple". How do I fix the above and get the CSV module?
