Hello monks. The below code runs ok, does what it supposed to do. I feel it has a lot of repetition though, and was wondering if it could be written better, or more elegantly, or said otherwise, written shorter, with less repetition. Thanks for any guidance! 
    my %fields;
    #$csvIn is a Text::xSV object.
    while ($csvIn->get_row()) {

        ($fields{partner},
        $fields{kampagne},
        $fields{keywordCluster},
        $fields{keyword},
        $fields{clicks},
        $fields{leads},
        $fields{orders},
        $fields{jaronVerguetung},
        $fields{partnerVerguetung},
        $fields{profit}) 
        = $csvIn->extract(qw(partner
            kampagne
            keywordCluster
            keyword
            clicks
            leads
            orders
            jaronVerguetung
            partnerVerguetung
            profit));

        #set nulls to empty string.  Have to do this or there will be 
+problems later printing the data rows.
        (($fields{partner},
        $fields{kampagne},
        $fields{keywordCluster},
        $fields{keyword},
        $fields{clicks},
        $fields{leads},
        $fields{orders},
        $fields{jaronVerguetung},
        $fields{partnerVerguetung},
        $fields{profit}) ) = map { unless ( defined ($_) ) { "" } else
+ {$_} }     
                    ($fields{partner},
                    $fields{kampagne},
                    $fields{keywordCluster},
                    $fields{keyword},
                    $fields{clicks},
                    $fields{leads},
                    $fields{orders},
                    $fields{jaronVerguetung},
                    $fields{partnerVerguetung},
                    $fields{profit} );
    }

UPDATE: Thanks very much. Will work on rewriting and repost. Wish I could vote you all up but I have squandered all my xp for the day.
