So, what I really want, is to have the script re-entrant so that I can
get one file as output, and then use all the resultant files as a base
to further parse.
Pardon my blathering explanation, but can I do this ?? Do I need to
make the beginning of the script a subroutine?

While you could create a re-entrant script, I think it would
be easier for you to create a re-entrant subroutine. IOW,
you'd create a subroutine that does these things:
1) Parse a CSV file who's name is provided as a parameter.
2) Select records that have a certain value for a chosen
field; the field's name and value are supplied as parameters.
3) Create an output file containing those records and return
the name of the output file.
Then you'd create a super subroutine that would repeatedly
call the re-entrant subroutine with the field names, field
values and input files you desire.
