I would like to be able to initially populate a relational HSQLDB database 
using a CSV file.  Specifically, I would use a file that looked like this:

LastName, FirstName, Unit, Position, MemberID, Status

to populate a Members table containing

LastName  FirstName  MemberID  (other info)

and a Unit table containing

Unit   MemberID   Position   Status  (other info)


I recognize that this will almost certainly require scripting.  Could someone 
give me pointers on where to start?

Alternatively, I am a fairly competent Perl scripter, so if it was possible to 
directly load up the database using a perl script to write the info, I would be 
up for that.  Any ideas on what that would take (or whether this qualifies as a 
"here there be dragons" thing).

Thanks for your help,

Jon Dixon
