So the CSV file would look like this?

a,b,c
1,2,3
[download]

How does any of the fields in line 2 correspond to any of the fields in line 1? I'm afraid I don't follow :)

Edit: Wait, I think I get it now. What you want is a way to tell Perl, "hey, listen. What is the number of the field in the first line that has the value 'c'? Got that? Okay, now give me the value of the field with that number in the second line." Is that what you mean? There are actually several approaches, and I'm coming up with something momentarily. Hold on.

Edit-edit: Yes, got it now. Okay, gimme a couple minutes.

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.
