I do not recommend using regular expressions to parse a CSV. What happens if part of the input includes a comma? In the Massive Overkill department, I would suggest using DBD::CSV:
use DBI;
$dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:CSV:")
or die "Cannot connect: " . $DBI::errstr;
$dbh->{'csv_tables'}->{'data'} = { 'file' => 'data.csv'};
# Find the matching rows in the table
$sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT * FROM data ' .
'WHERE column1 = ? AND column2 = ? ' .
'AND column7 = ? AND column5 = ?',
$one, $two, $three, $four)
or die "Cannot prepare: " . $dbh->errstr();
$sth->execute() or die "Cannot execute: " . $sth->errstr();
my($id, $name);
$sth->bind_columns(undef, \$id, \$name);
while ($sth->fetch)
{
# Print the name and id of each matching row
printf("Found result row: id = %s, name = %s\n",
defined($id) ? $id : "NULL",
defined($name) ? $name : "NULL");
}
$sth->finish();
$dbh->disconnect();
