All, Please forgive the long question, but duty calls me to get something done with PERL that I don't want somebody to do with Excel or Miserable Basic.
The part I can't seem to get going has to do with making variables out of the header row in the CSV file. The way it needs to work is that the first row may be of differing lengths (extra fields). I want to have the standalone PERL script to make the variables and then allow the user to sort the data based on the contents of the columns (i.e. pull out the records that match one or more criteria). The final product would allow me to select the file, specify some thing like the value of the "PPM" or "Grain" (and combinations thereof), and write the output to a new CSV file. Here is a snippet of the data so you can see what I am dealing with.
