My webserver is a hosted solution that doesn't have many modules installed. I was using Tie::Handle::CSV; but that isn't loaded and it won't be installed.

Can someone show me a generic or other way to load CSV files in my code that doesn't need Tie::Handle::CSV; or any other CSV module?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use DBI;
use Tie::Handle::CSV;

my $csv_fh = Tie::Handle::CSV->new('main_table.csv', header => 1);

my $sth;

my $database = "database";
my $db_server = "localhost";
my $user = "user";
my $password = "password";

my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$database:$db_server", $user, $passw
+ord);

my $statement = "INSERT INTO table (state, city, location) VALUES (?,?
+,?)";

$sth = $dbh->prepare($statement) or die "Couldn't prepare the query: $
+sth->errstr";


while (my $csv_line = <$csv_fh>)
      {


        my $state          = $csv_line->{'State'};
        my $city           = $csv_line->{'City'};
        my $locationname   = $csv_line->{'Location'};
        
my $rv = $sth->execute($state,$city,$locationname) or die "Couldn't ex
+ecute query: $dbh->errstr";

}

my $rc = $sth->finish;
   $rc = $dbh->disconnect;

   close $csv_fh;
