Re^2: Find the row with shortest string for a given input in a csv file.

...do we really need to use Text::CSV when the whole thing can be done in 4 lines of actual code?

I appreciate this attitude. While we should be giving options, and educating the OPs to some extent, I don't see the benefit here of installing a module hierarchy for a problem this small. There are additional problems newbies and old hats both face when installing modules, plus the added burden of dependencies.

I guess I'm a bit surprised that it took this many responses to get to "here it is in 4 lines of code, without a module".
