You could use a series of regex matches and use a new file to write the output. Something along the lines of

#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; my $csv = 'test.csv'; my $complete = 'output.csv'; open FILE, "<$csv"; chomp(my @file = <FILE>); foreach(@file) { my @cleaned; my @array = split(",",$_); foreach(@array) { $_ =~ s/^C$/CONDENSED/g; $_ =~ s/^0H$/OHIO/g; #etc..for what you want to match push @cleaned, $_; } open OUTPUT, ">>$complete"; print OUTPUT join(",",@cleaned)."\n"; close OUTPUT; }

If you don't want to use any additional modules
