Text::CSV is not what is reporting the error. csv2xls.pl is.
Here is a code snippet that duplicates the problem.

By the way, the data originators paste lines and/or paragraphs from Word into a form that puts it into a proprietary data base within a program called DOORS. DOORS exported the db as a ',' separated csv file. The csv has under 9K rows with lots of embedded newlines, and non-ascii chars. 

use Text::CSV;

use UTF8BOM;
use utf8;

use Encode;
use strict;

my $origfile = 'csv.csv';

my $infile = 'csv_in.csv';
`cp -f $origfile $infile`;

my $outfile = 'csv_out.csv';
my $in_fh;


#`cp csv.csv $infile`;

UTF8BOM->remove_from_file($infile);

my @rows;
my $csv = Text::CSV->new ( { binary => 1 } )
                 or die "Cannot use CSV: ".Text::CSV->error_diag ();

open my $in_fh, "<:encoding(utf8)", "$infile" or die (__LINE__.": \n")
+;

while ( my $row = $csv->getline( $in_fh ) ) {
    $row->[4] =~ m/Hardware/ or next; # Causes csv2xls.pl problems.
    push (@rows, ($row));
}

$csv->eof or $csv->error_diag();
close $in_fh;

$csv->eol ("\r\n");

my $csv_out;
my $num_rows = @rows;
print ("There are $num_rows rows\n");

open $csv_out, ">:encoding(utf8)", "$outfile" or die(__LINE__.": \n");
$csv->print ($csv_out, $_) for @rows;
close $csv_out or die (__LINE__.": \n");

unlink("csv_out.xls");
`csv2xls.pl -u csv_out.csv`;
