So, I was quite frustrated with this easy looking task bugging me for the whole day long. I really appreciate everyone who responded.

Finaly I ended up using Text::CSV perl module and then calling each of the CSV field as array reference. There was no need left to run the chomp after using Text::CSV.

Here is the code: 

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use warnings;
use strict;
use Text::CSV;

my $csv = Text::CSV->new ( { binary => 1 } )  # should set binary attr
+ibute.
                  or die "Cannot use CSV: ".Text::CSV->error_diag ();

open my $fh, "<:encoding(utf8)", "vm.csv" or die "vm.csv: $!";

<$fh>;  ## this is to remove the column headers.

while ( my $row = $csv->getline ($fh) )
{
    print $row->[1];
}

and here is hte output: 

fd1fd2fd3fd4

Later i was pulled these individual values and inserted into the DB.

Thanks everyone.
