Dear Monks, I would like to convert a text file to .csv file. My code is:

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

    my $file = 're-organized.txt';

    my $csv = Text::CSV->new();
    
    #now make a file for the ouput
       my $outputfile5 = "re-organized.csv";
           if (! open(POS, ">>$outputfile5") ) {
            print "Cannot open file \"$outputfile5\" to write to!!\n\n
+";
                exit;
        }
 
    open (CSV, "<", $file) or die $!;

    while (<CSV>) {
        if ($csv->parse($_)) {
            my @columns = $csv->fields();
            print POS "@columns\n";
        } else {
            my $err = $csv->error_input;
            print "Failed to parse line: $err";
        }
    }
    close CSV;

The file I am trying to convert is:

I encounter a problem! The script does not separate the elements/values in each row into separate columns in the .csv spreadsheet. How can I resolve this so that I have each value in the rows in a separate column in the generted .csv file?

thanks
