Hello monks (and jZed)...
This code: 
print "Type the name of the CSV file:\n";
my $CSVfile =<STDIN>;
chomp $CSVfile; 

my    $dbh = DBI->connect(qq{DBI:CSV:csv_sep_char=\\\t});
$dbh->{'csv_tables'}->{'tabdelimited'} = { 'file' => '$CSVfile'};

[download]

yields this error: 
Execution ERROR:  Cannot open .\$CSVfile: No such file or directory at
+ C:/Perl/site/lib/DBD/File.pm line 496, <STDIN> line 1.

Is there syntax to connect to a file specified by a variable?

(Update: forgot the "chomp".)

In reply to DBD:CSV doesn't interpret variable in "$dbh->" open command? by McMahon
