Hi,

..My problem is I have no idea how I would go about grabbing data into specific fields with the way the txt file is currently formatted...

I really don't think that is such a problem. With the data set you provided, one can do like this: 

use warnings;
use strict;

print join ("\t\t" => qw(Name Phone E-mail)),$/;
while (<DATA>) {
    chomp;
    print $_, "\t";
    print $/ if $. % 3 == 0; # note here 
}

__DATA__

The CSV part ( since you have mentioned that you can't use an external module ) and format to taste of the question is left for the OP.

If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.
