If the data is separated by comma's, your own example is horribly wrong, as it splits the data by space or pipe.

Text::CSV (or Text::CSV_XS) don't need an actual file. They operate on "stream"s just as well. If your data is something that is looking like a filehandle, just pass it to getline () and it should work fine ...

# make sure $fh is the file-handle to the CSV stream
# with the CSV data in memory (say it is in $data), you can
# use perlio:
#  open my $fh, "<", \$data;
my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new ({ binary => 1, auto_diag => 1 });
while (my $row = $csv->getline ($fh) {
    @$row or next; # skip empty lines
    if ($indata == 0) {
        @data = @$row;
        if ($row->[0] eq "Subject:") {
