Well I did something like what you are talking something like this: I had DBF table and then turn it into CSV and then load the data to MySQL. the code is something like this: 
my $dbhX3 = DBI->connect('dbi:XBase(RaiseError=1):');
my $dbhC3 = DBI->connect('dbi:CSV(RaiseError=1):');
my $select3 = $dbhX3->prepare("SELECT * FROM r510");
print "\nEjecutar SELECT de r510\n";
$select3->execute();

$dbhC3->do("CREATE TABLE r510.csv AS IMPORT(?)",{},$select3);
print "\nconectar al a base de datos en Mysql\n";
my $mysql_dbh3 = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:database=$datafilename;host=l
+ocalhost",
                         "root", "xyz123",
                         {'RaiseError' => 1});
#---- Here I empty the table in MySql ------
print "Limpiando la tabla\n";

$mysql_dbh3->do("TRUNCATE TABLE r510");
#---- Here I load all the data -------
my $sql3 = "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'c:/proyecto/r510.csv'
INTO TABLE r510
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'";
my $sth3 = $mysql_dbh3->prepare($sql3);
print "ejecutando la carga de la tabla\n";
$sth3->execute ();

and the error message is that of having extra characters on the line O'Neil or O"Neil stuff like that check the CSV's
