Suppose my csv file has 5 columns: f id fa mo ge
Will my ($key, $value) = split/,/; still work?
Is there any other mothod that is more efficient?

Hi,
There is a module use AnyData;
which we can use for different format of files for CSV , here is a sample piece
of code
use AnyData;
use Data::Dumper;
$format= 'CSV';
$data = 'sample.csv';
$open_mode = 'r';
# Open file in read/update mode
my $table = adTie( $format, $data, $open_mode,);
print Dumper %$table;
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Prabu
