This won't help you at the moment, but for future reference, keep in the back of your mind the modules Text::CSV, which is pure Perl, and the closely related Text::CSV_XS, which does the same things only faster, but requires local compilation that can be problematic.

These modules do lots of stuff and can be a great help when processing | reading and writing CSV files of any kind. However, their learning curve, while quite reasonable, is steep enough that you may wish to simplify your current situation by sticking close to what you know.
