Hello Perl Monks, I have a script created to use SOAP::Lite and update a Cisco CM DB via XML. I need to gather data from a file/CSV to pull the device name and description into the code below as a variable (then loop ~3000 times). Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? Here's my code to update the phone description: 
#!/usr/bin/perl                                                       
+          

use SOAP::Lite;
use Data::Dumper;

my $cucmip = "10.186.78.4";
my $axl_port = "8443";
my $user = "PerlAXL";
my $password = "Pa$$word";
my $axltoolkit = "AXLAPI.wsdl";

BEGIN {
    sub SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client::get_basic_credentials {
return ($user => $password)
    };
}

my $cm = new SOAP::Lite
    encodingStyle => '',
    uri => "$axltoolkit",
    proxy => "https://$cucmip:$axl_port/axl/" ;

my $res =
  $cm->updatePhone(
         SOAP::Data->name('name' => 'SEP123456123456'),
         SOAP::Data->name('lines' => SOAP::Data->name('line' => SOAP::
+Data->name('index' => '1'),
                                                                 SOAP:
+:Data->name('description' => 'Perl Rocks')
                                                      )
                          )                 
    );

unless ($res->fault) {
}
else {
        print join ', ',
        $res->faultcode,
        $res->faultstring;
}
