TStanley,
After having carefully read through the docs for Text::xSV I have determined that while it is useful in most cases it is useless in *this* case. You have to have either a fields declaration line or fixed widths. Fixed widths is out for my program... just look at the data. In order to use a field declaration line, I would have to rewrite a major protion of the program.

I have instead used Text::ParseWords which is not great but better than a simple split.

I have also changed it so that the data set can be tested by running it from the command line. ;)

The updated code is here.
