Dear monks,
it seems that the script I've been using has a problem with the line endings when used on a Mac. I've tried 
eol => '\012'
eol => '\015'
eol => '\l'
eol => '\r'

But neither of these did work. Did I forget an alternative? 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use diagnostics;
use Text::CSV;

my $qfn_in = 'data.csv';

open( my $fh_in, '<', $qfn_in )
  or die("Can't open file \"$qfn_in\": $!\n");

my $fh_out = \*STDOUT;

my $csv_in =
  Text::CSV_XS->new( { sep_char => ',', binary => 1, eol => '\015' } )
+;
my $csv_out = Text::CSV_XS->new( { sep_char => "\t", eol => $/ } );

while ( my $row = $csv_in->getline($fh_in) ) {
    $csv_out->print( $fh_out, [ @$row[ 2, 3, 0, 4 ], ] );
}

As an alternative I looked at using *Text::ParseWords* (see below) but just couldn't get more then data of just the first line produced. Maybe someone could help me with that.
Thanks in advance,
Gert 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use diagnostics;
use Text::ParseWords;

my $mydata = "data.csv";
open( FILE, "<$mydata" )
  or die("Couldn't open CSV file $mydata:$!\\n");

my $line;
my @fields;
while ( $line = <FILE> ) {
    @fields = &quotewords( ',', 0, $line )
      or ( warn "a problem on line $.:$_" );

    # Set variable values based on the array values.
    my $id     = $fields[0];
    my $brand  = $fields[1];
    my $dbt    = $fields[2];
    my $cdt    = $fields[3];
    my $color  = $fields[4];
    my $number = $fields[5];
}
exit;
