Yes .I have tried importing this csv into excel. I am not able to duplicate the rows and join. Any help would be appreciated. Here is my code: 
 #!/usr/bin/perl -w

  use strict;

  use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;



 my $workbook = new Spreadsheet::WriteExcel("test.xls");

  my $sheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();



  my $moneyFormat = $workbook->add_format();

 $moneyFormat->set_num_format('$#,##0');

my $boldFormat = $workbook->add_format();

 $boldFormat->set_bold();


 my $row=0;

 my @longest=(0,0,0,0,0,0,0);

 open(MOV, "<test.csv") || die "Can't open movies.csv: $!";

while(<MOV>) {

      chomp;

         my @fields = split(/,/, $_);

         for(my $col = 0; $col < @fields; $col++) {
              if ($row == 0) {

                      $sheet->write($row, $col, $fields[$col], $boldFo
+rmat);

              } else {

                      if ($col == 2 or $col == 3) {

                             $sheet->write($row, $col,

                                            $fields[$col], $moneyForma
+t);

                      } else {

                              $sheet->write($row, $col, $fields[$col])
+;

                      }

              }


             if ($longest[$col] < length($fields[$col])) {
                      $longest[$col] = length($fields[$col]);

              }

        }

      $row++;

 }

 $longest[2]+=3;

$longest[3]+=3;

 for(my $i = 0; $i < @longest; $i++) {

      $sheet->set_column($i,$i,$longest[$i]);

 }



 close(MOV);

 $workbook->close();
