Thank you for the suggestion.

In this case I won't be using that, just because I now have a working script and I can completely trust the inputfile will be clean. Plus, this script needs to run on an external server, Text::CSV is not installed and I am not allowed to install whatever I want there, so have to make it work with the tools at hand. Oftenly there is no speedboat here, so we have to use the rowboat.

But I will definitely install it on my laptop, it indeed looks like it could make for a much cleaner script than what I oftenly write :-)
