Though that is a perfect answer, the code you showed uses parse and thus is unsafe to use when upgrading from this easy single-line example to parsing a complete file record by record, wher getline whould be the preferred method to use.
Below is an example that uses more recent Text::CSV_XS' csv function
#!/usr/bin/perl
use 5.014001;
use warnings;
use Text::CSV_XS qw( csv );
my $line =
'11/21/2022,Payment,"Transfer to Smith, account 2",,USD,,123.60,';
say "IN: $line";
my $aoa = csv (in => \$line);
my ($fDate, $fType, $fDetails, $fRef, $fCurrency, $fAmount, $fPaidOut,
$fFees) = @{$aoa->[0]};
printf "\n Date: %s; Type: %s; \n".
" Details: %s\n Reference: %s\n".
" Currency: %s; Amount: %s; PaidOut: %s; Fees: %s;\n",
$fDate, $fType, $fDetails,
$fRef, $fCurrency, $fAmount, $fPaidOut, $fFees;
to upgrade from this single line to the complete file
my $aoa = csv (in => \$line);
changes to
my $aoa = csv (in => $file);
And then all is available in the $aoa
foreach my $record (@$aoa) {
my ($date, $type, $dtls, $ref, $curr, $amt, $paid, $fees) = @$reco
+rd;
...;
}
Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

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).
