FWIW Text::CSV_XS (and Text::CSV - which uses Text::CSV_XS if installed - used in Text::CSV::Slurp), have a native method that comes very close to what you are using: getline_hr_all since version 0.80 (2010-12-24).

Note that the documentation of Text::CSV::Slurp does not mention that a header line is required in the CSV file. Your statement "On the first line of data, Slurp calls $csv->getline_hr ($io)" is not true. It does so for the second line. The first line is read with if (my $head = $csv->getline ($io)) { $csv->column_names ($head); ...

In Text::CSV_XS speak, your code would be something like:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Text::CSV_XS;

my $file = "/orion-reqs/SaferHtml/CradleCSV/2012_03_30/Doc_Sections_SA
+FER_Group_Trace.csv";
open my $fh, "<:encoding(utf-8)", $file or die "$file: $!";
my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new ({ binary => 1, auto_diag => 1 });
$csv->column_names ($csv->getline ($fh));
my $data = $csv->getline_hr_all ($fh);
close ($fh);
