Hi folks, I am new user of perl and I need to parse many similar csv file to produce one output file. The input files are like systot-all_*.csv where * may represent any thing. The structure of each file is exactly the same. One such content is- 
"CLLI","SWREL","RPTDATE","RPTIME","TZ","RPTTYPE","RPTPD","IVALDATE","I
+VALSTART","IVALEND","NUMENTIDS">

"toroonxn0dw","EAGLE5 40.1.0-62.13.19","2009-11-13","19:00:23","EST ",
+"STP SYSTEM TOTAL MEASUREMENTS ON TT","LAST","2009-11-13","18:45:00",
+"19:00:00",256

"STATUS","TT","GTTPERFD","GTTUN0NS","GTTUN1NT","AGTTPERFD" "K","0",0,0,0,0 "K","1",0,0,0,0 "K","2",0,0,0,0 "K","3",0,0,0,0 "K","4",0,0,0,0 "K","5",0,0,0,0 "K","6",0,0,0,0 "K","7",0,0,0,0 I have to take the IVALDATE, IVALSTART and IVALEND values from the second line which in this case are 2009-11-13, 18:45:00 and 19:00:00 respectively. And then all the values in the below part. My desired output for the above input is (tab seperated fields)- 
Date    StartTime    EndTime    STATUS    TT    GTTPERFD    GTTUN0NS  
+  GTTUN1NT    AGTTPERFD

For all other files it would do all the things except putting the header again. Can anybody help me in this regard with a Perl script? 
Thanks,
