You left out some pertinant info, so this may not be the EXACT answer you are looking for - but it works. I am only using CGI, i recommend using some CSV module for this, such as Text::CSV_XS or Text::xSV but since you are on another server and they obviously don't have the modules installed that you want, i present this to you: 
use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);

print header();
print "<table>\n";
while (<DATA>) {
    chomp;
    print "\t<tr>\n";
    print map { "\t\t<td>$_</td>\n"  } split(/,/,$_);
    print "\t</tr>\n";
}
print "</table>\n";

You will need to modify this to meet your needs, but at least it's a start. Have fun :)

Also, you can always install modules on your personal space and use 'use lib' to let Perl know where to find them: use lib "/path/to/your/installed/mods";
