the while loop exits after about 240 rows. I'm assuming it's due to the size of the file
I doubt if your problem is due to the size of the file - Parse::CSV is designed specifically to handle large files, and only reads one line at a time.
You could try adding this line after your loop:
print $parser->errstr;
I suspect, though, that the problem has something to do with the structure of your data - does it change in any way around row 240? You mention that some of the columns have commas within - maybe you could post some of your input data here (inside <code></code> tags).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
