manipulate csv module

[onlineviewer]

Hello All,

I have a .csv file which has 3 columns of data. Is there a
module that i can use that will allow me to manipulate this file.
Like remove some data from 1 column and add it to another, add
and remove columns etc...

Thanks,

Googling "perl text csv" returns a link to:

Module: Text::CSV

Description:
Text::CSV provides facilities for the composition and decomposition
of
comma-separated values. An instance of the Text::CSV class can
combine
fields into a CSV string and parse a CSV string into fields.

Might be a good place to start.

Searching [url]http://search.cpan.org/[/url] for CSV also works.

Thanks for the response. I found Tie::Handle::CSV which seems to be ok.
I am trying to
iterate over the Title column so i can perform an action on each piece
of data.
I am trying a while loop but not working out too well. Any
suggestions.?
Thanks,

$csv_fh = Tie::Handle::CSV->new( 'file01.csv', openmode => '+<' );

print +( scalar <$csv_fh> )->{'Title'}, "\n";

This is not working:
while ($csv_fh->{'Title'}){
print "bla bla\n";
}
