Starting with 

use strict; 
use warnings;

would probably give you a clue.

Also adding these two statements 

 use Text::CSV;

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

Would help a lot too. see http://search.cpan.org/~ishigaki/Text-CSV-1.95/lib/Text/CSV.pm

and have you considered what happens if the log has Jan 31 and Feb 1 dates in it? Gonna mess up your sort isnt it? Ive been known to use a variant of the technique used here http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/DSCHWEI/Parse-Syslog-1.10/lib/Parse/Syslog.pm to convert those kinda dates into epoch datetimes. Once its in that mode it is easy to manipulate the final output sort and style.
