Since being informed about Text::XSV, in such circumstances, I tend to use nothing else but it:

use warnings;
use strict;

use Text::xSV;
my $csv = Text::xSV->new(fh => *DATA, row_size_warning => undef);

while (my $row = $csv->get_row()) {
    my @prefix = splice @$row, 0, 3;
    foreach (@$row) {
        print join ',', @prefix, $_ . "\n";
    }
}

Which is, IMHO, not too unreadable (:-D) and when run, gives:

Update:

In retrospect i.e. whilst watching my daughter learning to swim, it occurred to me that I probably ought to recommend the use of the print() &/or print_row() methods (of Text::xSV) to generate the output.
