Try putting the full path to the csv file into the script, so instead
of something like:

  open CSV, "<file.csv" or die "open: $!";

you have something like:

  open CSV, "</usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/file.csv" or die "open: $!";

If that doesn't help please post the exact error message you get
when it fails to open the file.
