Hi ,

           use strict;
           use CGI;

           #use some mail module like MIME::Lite 

           open(Filenm,"filenames.csv") || die "the file is not ready 
+to be opened";

           while (<Filenm>){

              local $/;
              # Here the file's size is important, for a lesser size t
+his is ok

              my @pindigits = split(',',$_);
              $pinforphonecard = shift(@pindigits);

              #    have the cgi stuff and MIME::Lite or any that you u
+se for mailing part with the $pinforphonecard as the one to be let to
+ send 

              # then go ahead and remove the $pinforphonecard and a co
+mma from the file 

              $_ =~ s/$pinforphonecard,//g;
              last;

            }

You should actually go for Tie::Db... as Merlyn observes, as you insist on csv , you could do this way
