There is a CPAN module Text::CSV_XS that you can use. But your data must be
valid CSV ... ie if there is a comma in the string itself , the entire string
must be in quotes like so
John Doe,"1, John Street",DoeVille .....
so in your case the proper way to deal with it is to have the input come in as
"10,000" instead ... alternatively you can insist that every single element be
quoted and then do a split on ","
