Your question doesn't make sense. Text::CSV parses lines (which is weakness of the module), not files.

Maybe what you want is Text::xSV. Consider:

use strict; use warnings; use Text::xSV; my $str = <<FILE; a,2,"3 a",4,5,6 b,2,3,4,5,6 FILE open my $inFile, '<', \$str; my $xsv = Text::xSV->new (fh => $inFile); $xsv->bind_fields (qw(1 2 3 4 5 6)); while (my @parts = $xsv->get_row ()) { s!\n!!g for @parts; print "@parts\n"; } close $inFile;

Prints:

a 2 3a 4 5 6 b 2 3 4 5 6

Perl's payment curve coincides with its learning curve.
