You can always use Text::CSV to prepare your data for your COPY FROM (and use the CSV mode of COPY FROM)

Something like:

my @ArrayInMemory = (
        [1, 'value 12', 'value 13'],
        [2, 'value 22', 'value 23'],
        [3, 'value 32', 'value 33'],
);

my $csv = Text::CSV->new ({ binary => 1, eol => $/ });

$dbh->do(q{COPY testcp (col1, col2, col3) FROM STDIN
                CSV});

foreach my $row (@ArrayInMemory) {
    $csv->combine(@$row) or die 'Error '.$csv->error_input;

    $dbh->pg_putcopydata($csv->string);
}

$dbh->pg_putcopyend();
