Look at DBI::CSV if you want to handle this as a database (like update
it).
Look at Text::CSV if you want to parse it, and it has quoted tabs in it.
Otherwise, you could use something like split() to process it.
I would avoid using OLE to call Excel if I possibly could. You don't say
what you're doing with the data, though.
