If you really want a CSV file, then I'd try to let someone else do the
work and use Text::CSV_XS.  Pay attention to the pod about embedded
newlines and quoting and it should work (though I admit I haven't
tried it).

Alternatively, use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel or the newer
Excel::Writer::XLSX and generate an excel file directly.
