Please note Text::CSV's documentation:

 open my $fh, "<:encoding(utf8)", "test.csv" or die "test.csv: $!";
 while ( my $row = $csv->getline( $fh ) ) {
     $row->[2] =~ m/pattern/ or next; # 3rd field should match
     push @rows, $row;
 }

Let the $csv object read from the file handle (and parse the line), instead of:

...
 while (my $line = <CSV>) {
    chomp $line;
        if ($csv->parse($line)) {
...

In the documentation, $row is an array reference, pointing to the array that contains the line's parsed fields. You can just use @$row to get all those fields.

It's not clear to me what chomp (@fields); is doing in your script. It looks like you're expecting @fields to contain the parsed fields from the currently-read line. But there wouldn't be any newlines in @fields, so chomping it is unnecessary.

Also, as a side note, consider using lexical variables (my) for file handles, instead of barewords. For example:

open my $CSV, '<:encoding(utf8)', $file or die "Cannot open $file: $!\
+n"
