Did something similar years ago --- so...

#!\user\bin\perl -w

while (@a_Field=GetCSV(@a_Field)) {
  print join(' | ',@a_Field)."\n\n";
   };

  sub GetCSV{
    my($s_Line,$s_Text);
    while ($s_Line=<DATA>) {
      #print "'$s_Line'\n";
      my(@a_Field);
      $s_Text.=$s_Line;
      while ($s_Text =~ m{([^",]*)([,\n])|"((?:[^"]|"")*)"([,\n])}gs) 
+{
        unless (substr($`,-1,1) eq '"') {
          if (defined $1) {
            push(@a_Field,$1);
            if ($2 eq "\n") {
              return @a_Field;
               };
             } else {
            my($s_Field);
            ($s_Field=$3)=~s/""/"/g;
            push(@a_Field,$s_Field);
            if ($4 eq "\n") {
              return @a_Field;
               };
             };
           };
         };
       };
    return ();
     };

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
