This may makes things more complicated than you need, but I should point out that most CSV dumps use quotation marks to escape strings that have commas in them. This is something to watch for:
some,comma-delniated,"file with a, comma",in the data
You might take a look at Text::CSV, you could do something like: (untested)
use Text::CSV;
my $csv = Text::CSV->new();
while (<>) {
$csv->parse($_);
print join("\t", $csv->fields());
}
That's pretty simplistic, and won't handle tabs in the data, but you get the idea.

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).
