%csv2hash is a hash.

The programmer is loading the record into the key of the hash, %csv2hash. The value of the hash is the title.

The test program below demonstrates just that small task for one record. The programmer (i.e., the programmer that wrote this program originally) populates %csv2hash with all of the records in the file named csv2.

#!/usr/bin/perl

#  csv2hash.pl      perl csv2hash.pl  A test program.
# From http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1166649

use strict;
use warnings;
my %csv2hash = ();                                                    
+                                             
my $record = q[12278788, TV & SATELLITE WEEK 11 MAY 2013 GILLIAN ANDER
+SON DOCTOR WHO NOT RADIO TIMES , http://www.example.co.uk, 12];
$_ = $record;
my ($title) = $_ =~ /^.+?,\s*([^,]+?),/; #/ match the title           
+                                           
$csv2hash{$_} = $title;

use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper(%csv2hash);
