So, I was quite frustrated with this easy looking task bugging me for the whole day long. I really appreciate everyone who responded.
Finaly I ended up using Text::CSV perl module and then calling each of the CSV field as array reference. There was no need left to run the chomp after using Text::CSV.
Here is the code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Text::CSV;
my $csv = Text::CSV->new ( { binary => 1 } ) # should set binary attr
+ibute.
or die "Cannot use CSV: ".Text::CSV->error_diag ();
open my $fh, "<:encoding(utf8)", "vm.csv" or die "vm.csv: $!";
<$fh>; ## this is to remove the column headers.
while ( my $row = $csv->getline ($fh) )
{
print $row->[1];
}
and here is hte output:
fd1fd2fd3fd4
Later i was pulled these individual values and inserted into the DB.
Thanks everyone.

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).
