Removing the use of Text::CSV is a major backward step! Consider what happens if a family of products have titles of the form:

Nugget Type Acme Widget, blue

Your code will now generate a badly formed csv file because the comma in the product title is seen as a field separator. With Text::CSV generating the output at least the file is generated correctly and the comma containing title is correctly quoted.

Premature optimization is the root of all job security
