While your efforts to honor the brevity requirement for posted code snippets is admirable -- and I truly mean this and thank you for making the effort -- it is often critical to also honor the functional requirement.

That said, some notes:

1. You are not writing a CSV file. You are writing a TSV file:
   • CSV means Comma-Separated Values.
   • TSV means Tab-Separated Values.
2. Your code doesn't work:

   #!/usr/bin/perl
   
   use strict;
   
   my $csvfile;
   push (@report,(join "\t", $empid, @array),"\n")
   foreach  (@report) {
       print $_;
       print $csvfile $_;
   }
   
   exit;
   
   __END__

   Produces:

   C:\Steve\Dev\PerlMonks\P-2013-07-11@1436-CSV-Fail>perl csvfail.pl

Because I can see where you're going with this data, I will play with the code and see if I can produce a small version which facilitates debugging.

See you in a few minutes. :-)
