Well, you can always launch the perl as an external process. But if it's
just generating CSV and acting as a CGI script, it should be easy to
replicate that behavior from a Python script object. If the script is small
post it or mail it to me. I'd be interested in seeing if it has some secret
CSV knowledge that makes the data format work better.
FWIW, are you sure your Perl script behaves better than the Python script
you already have?
