One way would be to use an array slice:
while($row=<CSV>) {
chomp($row);
@data=(split(/,/,$row))[2,11,19];
.
.
}
Alternatively if you need those specific column values as separate scalars
instead of three elements of an array then:
($item1,$item2,$item3)=(split(/,/,$row))[2,11,19];
The chomp($row) isn't strictly needed since you are not using
the last column.
