Are you able to install Perl Modules? If so, install Text::CSV, and let me know when this is done.

There are two reasons that the Module may serve you well in this case. The first is that it's generally a best practice to use a Module that's built to handle csv files. In your case, the csv format wasn't complex, i.e., commas within quoted fields, so just splitting on commas was OK. However, thinking long-term, your data may get more complex, and Text::CSV would be able to handle it.

The second reason is based upon the error messages you shared. The variable $vars was uninitialized when it should have contained a value. This may be an issue of the csv file containing binary data, but I'm not sure. Text::CSV can handle this, too.

Let me know...

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.
