Hi, I am new to perl and need your help on following problem. I have a csv file which has values like below and I want to write a perl module so other perl script can use the subroutine of that module.

csv: #header #Key,value,flag abc,0.10,1 xyz,5,1 pqr,0.01,0

perl module should have a subroutine to which parameter will be passed as "key" (column 1). e.g. get_value("abc"). Subroutine should read the CSV file and return "value" (column 2) corresponding to the key passed and also check the last column "flag" (column 3). If flag is 1 then it should return the value otherwise returns a message stating this is not active. Also I want to skip any of the comments in CSV file (starting with #) while reading it. Thanks in advance.
