With minimal changes, I think that your LOAD DATA statement should read, 

my $stmt = qq(LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '../$cvstoupload'
INTO TABLE statezones FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY 
ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r' IGNORE 1 LINES);

That takes care of quoting problems. Is your record seperator really "\r"? That seems odd.

I think that the relative path will be taken by mysqld to be relative to the directory of the database you're logged into. Use absolute paths.

I'm not sure how this has worked at all. Regarding the data file, check with a hex dump or something that the record seperators are all consistent and are what you think they are.

This seems like an odd application to do as CGI. Are you cursed with no shell access to the host? If so, I'd change host - this is an insecure thing to have around.
