TStanley,
After having carefully read through the docs for Text::xSV I have determined that while it is useful in most cases it is useless in *this* case. You have to have either a fields declaration line or fixed widths. Fixed widths is out for my program... just look at the data. In order to use a field declaration line, I would have to rewrite a major protion of the program.
I have instead used Text::ParseWords which is not great but better than a simple split.
I have also changed it so that the data set can be tested by running it from the command line. ;)
The updated code is here.

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).
