Got a combination that sort of works. It returns all the required
fields but truncates any line where $usd_unit or $units_usd has more
than 1 digit before the decimal point. There can be as many as (8)
digits before and (10) digits after the decimal point in both cases.

You seem to be misunderstanding one particular
aspect of perl. Given the following:
while () {

currency.csv contains using the code below. The date has been
adjusted from 2000-12-30 00:16:19 UTC to PST. The rest of the file is
still not being processed.
