note space_monk Please in the name of whatever deity/deities you worship, stop using "split" to break up lines of CSV files and use <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~makamaka/Text-CSV-1.21/lib/Text/CSV.pm">Text::CSV</a> or a similar library instead. <p>In the particular example, the original program is reading in an address, which is almost certain to contain a comma somewhere, and the normal way round that is to quote the field. <b>split</b> won't handle this, but CSV parsing libraries such as Text::CSV will take it in their stride. <!-- Node text goes above.
