You asked in the CB if Text::CSV_XS could parse from a string, rather than a file. I see you've used the $csv->parse() method to do that here by using <$fh> to read the file. That works ok because you apparently don't have any embedded newlines. If you did have embedded newlines you should use $csv->getline() instead and use it directly on the $fh. You can also use getline() on a string with embedded junk without any file. This correctly shows two records of four fields each: 
#!perl -w
use strict;
use IO::Scalar;
use Text::CSV_XS;
my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new( {binary=>1} );
my $fh  = new IO::Scalar;
my $str = qq{aa,"b\nb","c,c",7\ndd,ee,ff,8};
$fh->open(\$str);
while (my $cols = getline($fh)) {
    print "<$_>" for @$cols;
    print "\n";
}
sub getline {
    my $cols = $csv->getline($_[0]);
    if (!$cols) {
        die $! if $!;
        return undef;
    }
    return (@$cols) ? $cols : undef;
}
