There are several possibilities to do so:
You could do it with the Modules DBI and DBD::Csv, (treated as database), or Text::Csv, or do it by yourself.

The rules are about: The columns are separated with a special char; if this char is inside a column, then the column is embraced by "" (or sometimes '').

my $csvSep = ','; # comma as csv-separator
foreach my $line (@rows){ # e.g. 2-dim array
  my @columns = @$line;
  print join($csvSep, # join by $csvSep
    map { 
      /\Q$csvSep/ ? "\"$_\"" : $_ # if $csvSep found in Value: "val"
    } @columns; # take columns
  ), "\n"; # and a newline...
} # foreach
