I found the answer to my problem.. of course it's always in the 4th hour. I simply used the following and everything is good. 
my $lineterm = "\015"
my $csvout = Text::CSV_XS->new({eol => $lineterm})

Thanks! I'll leave the message below in case anyone else runs into the same issue. 

Hello all,

I'm having a problem with Text::CSV_XS and the output resulting from i
+ts print() function.
I have the following code:

    for my $i (0..$#values) {
        my $fh = new IO::File($master_fn, O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_APPEND);
        #DEBUG : for my $j (0..$#{$values[$i]}) { print $debug "value[
+".$i."][".$j."] = ".$values[$i][$j]."\n"; }
        my $status = $csvout->print($fh, $values[$i]);
        close $fh;
    }


The problem I'm having is that the output file contains all the entrie
+s in a single row.  I have tried creating the array in various ways b
+ut I believe this may be the nature of the CSV_XS module.  The debug 
+statement above prints out similar to the following:


value[0][0] = 
value[0][1] = 2009/03/26
value[0][2] = 16:28:21
value[0][3] = 8
value[0][4] = This is some sample text.
value[1][0] = 
value[1][1] = 2009/03/29
value[1][2] = 10:27:24
value[1][3] = 12
value[1][4] = This is more sample text.
value[2][0] = Assigned
value[2][1] = 2009/03/26
value[2][2] = 08:58:20
value[2][3] = 3
.
.
.


The print() function requires an array reference as the second argumen
+t.  I verified the output is correct in the output .csv, but it is si
+mply all in one row.  If this is the nature of the module, is there a
+ way I can get around this?  
As you can see, I have tried opening and closing the file within the l
+oop, but I have also tried opening the file outside the loop.  Both h
+ave resulted in the same output.  I've also tried to append a \n to t
+he last value, but no luck. 

I've exhausted my options and appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks!
