Why only use the module for writing the CSV, and not for parsing? Parsing usually is the hard part.

If the space before the comma is to be removed on parsing, use the allow_whitespace attribute for that.

use Text::CSV;
my $csv = Text::CSV->new ({
    binary           => 1,
    auto_diag        => 1,  # Have the module complain about errors
    allow_whitespace => 1,  # allow 1 , 2 ,3 
    });

my $in_file = "C:/Documents and Settings/x0199665/My Documents/tempora
+ry.tl";
open my $in_fh, "<", $in_file or die "could not open $in_file: $!\n";

my @rows;
# Use Text::CSV (or Text::CSV_XS) to parse, not split
while (my $row = $csv->getline ($in_fh) {
    push @rows, $row;
    }
close $in_fh or die "could not close $in_file: $!\n";

# my $rows = $csv->getline_all ($in_fh); # would do all in one go

print " Please enter the name of your csv file in which you will make 
+modifications: ";
chomp (my $out_file = <STDIN>);

open my $out_fh, ">", $out_file or die "could not open $out_file: $!\n
+";

$csv->eol ("\n");
$csv->print ($out_fh, $_) for @rows;
close $out_fh or die "could not close $out_file: $!\n";
