AFAIK,

1. If you are on a MAC and have all MAC-formatted files, don't set
csv_eol at all, DBD::CSV should do the right thing.

2. If you are on a MAC and have all DOS formatted files, set csv_eol to
\015\012.

3. If you are on a MAC and have mixed files

   a. convert them all to one format before processing (recommended)

   or

   b. for the files that you know are DOS formatted, set csv_eol to
\015\012 and
      do not set it all for the MAC formatted files

So use the scripts to put a MAC eol in the file and forget about csv_eol
in the report generating scripts.
