search.cpan.org for "csv" has lots of hits.  :)

I've used Text::CSV in the past.

To quote Text::CSV::Simple

   http://search.cpan.org/~tmtm/Text-CSV-Simple-1.00/lib/Text/CSV/Simple.pm

"Parsing CSV files is nasty. It seems so simple, but it usually isn't. 
Thankfully Text::CSV_XS takes care of most of that nastiness for us.


Like many modules which have to deal with all manner of nastiness and 
edge cases, however, it can be clumsy to work with in the simple case.


Thus this module."


So    perl -MCPAN -e 'install Text::CSV::Simple'   ?

HTH,
