so you have to do something like:
echo "SELECT 'a', 'b', 1" |mysql db |perl -ne 'chomp; print join(",", map {
m/\D/ ? qq("$_") : $_ } split/\t/)."\n"' > yourfile.csv
This is a bit simplistic, e.g. it will not handle columns that have quotes
in the result, etc..
Also, don't forget the first line returned contains the column names.
