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?

Not using a module is a bad idea. If you have shell access why not read A Guide to Installing Modules and do a local install? If you don't have shell access why not just pick a CSV module like Text::CSV which is pure perl, then just do this:

  1. Make a directory in your cgi-bin called say LIB.
  2. Make a directory in your cig-bin/LIB dir called Text
  3. Copy CSV.pm from the Text::CSV distribution to cgi-bin/LIB/Text/CSV.pm

Now all you have to do is 

use lib './LIB';  # assumes current working dir is cgi-bin
use Text::CSV;
# yada

If you don't like either of those worthy ideas then just rip the guts out of Text::CSV and stuff it in your code.
