More like the following without the need of a required first field. I took out the push since it was making every field an array ref. Also, this does both a hash and hash of hashes. Now to get arrays of hashes, and I'd have my all in one. 8)

It took me this long to figure all of this out, but I had a sick cat to deal with too. My sick cat takes precedence over my perl code.

sub make_list {
  my %opt  = @_;
  my $file = $opt{file} && ref($opt{file}) eq 'ARRAY' ? data_file(@{$o
+pt{file}}) : $opt{file};
  my $raw_headers = $opt{'headings'} ? $opt{'headings'} : ['heading'];
  unshift @$raw_headers, 'key' if scalar @$raw_headers == 1;

  my %exapansions;
  my $headers = [map { s/\+$// && $exapansions{$_}++; $_ } @$raw_heade
+rs];

  my %list;
  my $csv = csv (
    in               => $file,
    headers          => $headers,
    sep_char         => '|',
    quote_char       => undef,
    empty_is_undef   => 1,
    allow_whitespace => 1,
    auto_diag        => 1,
    on_in            => sub {
      for my $header (@$headers) {
        if (scalar @$headers == 2) {
          $header eq $headers->[0] and next;
          $list{$_{$headers->[0]}} = $exapansions{$header} ? [split(m/
+;\s*/, $_{$header})] : $_{$header};
        }
        else {
          $list{$_{$headers->[0]}}{$header} = $exapansions{$header} ? 
+[split(m/;\s*/, $_{$header})] : $_{$header};
        }
      }
    }
  );

  return \%list;

No matter how hysterical I get, my problems are not time sensitive. So, relax, have a cookie, and a very nice day!
