Following your approach, I came with the following code that creates one array with all the strings that result from the concatenation of all the columns. Note that I'm not taking into account eventual memory problems that may arise from the amount of columns/lines your csv may have.
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
my @parsed = ();
while (<DATA>) {
my $in = $_;
chomp($in);
my @line = split(/,/, $in);
for my $i(0..$#line) {
$parsed[$i] .= $line[$i].'|';
}
}
map {chop} @parsed;
print Dumper(\@parsed);
__DATA__
123,"text",66,"more text"
124,"text1",67,"more text1"
125,"text2",68,"more text2"
outputs
$VAR1 = [
'123|124|125',
'"text"|"text1"|"text2"',
'66|67|68',
'"more text"|"more text1"|"more text2"'
];

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).
