Guru's, I'm having difficulty forcing the integers for all my fields that I'm out putting. I defined the type but I still have fields out putting as character fields. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;

use Text::CSV_XS;

my ($reporttype,$sorter2,$price,$account,$amount,$check_no,$date_time,
+$prod_no,$rundate);

$reporttype = 0;
$sorter2 = 0;
$account = 0;
$amount = 0;
$check_no = 0;

my $procdate = sprintf "%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d", (localtime)[4]+1, (
+localtime)[3], substr((localtime)[5]+1900,2,2),(localtime)[2], (local
+time)[1], (localtime)[0];

open SOURCE, "< C:/B01.PRN" or die "can't open file $!";
open CSVFILE, ">> C:/test_" . $procdate . ".csv";

my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new({eol => "\n"});

 $csv->types ([Text::CSV_XS::IV (),
               Text::CSV_XS::IV (),
               Text::CSV_XS::IV (),
               Text::CSV_XS::IV ()]);

while(my $source = <SOURCE>) {
    if (substr($source,7,4) =~ /\d\d\d\d/ && $reporttype == 1 && $sort
+er2 == 1){
        $prod_no = substr($source,88,8);
        $account = int(substr($source,22,10));
        $price = substr($source,7,9);
        $check_no = substr($source,48,16);
        $amount = substr($source,32,16);
        #$amount =~ s/,//;
        #$amount = $amount;
        
    $csv->combine($prod_no, $account, $price, $check_no,$amount);
    print $csv->string; 
    printf CSVFILE $csv->string;
    };
};
